Pulp Alley Scooby Doo League

[d phipps]

I have been wanting to get the gang for a very long time - and maybe also the Post-Apoc version...

Is there an UNARMED/Brawler option in the works - other than Animal (I think it's called - I cannot check the book right now)? Brawl allowed, but no shooting. I've used Animal on a Sidekick brawler, but it seems somehow unapropriate for a human... 

Animal is probably the top ranked renamed ability. And we really do encourage folks to rename the abilities to fit their own personal tastes and setting.

But having been personally called an "animal" many times in my life, I can assure you it is sometimes very appropriate. 

Here's one of the funniest examples of renaming abilities -- http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=64955.0


Oh, there are a couple No-Brawl abilities planned for the Vice Alley book -- currently called Brainy and Dandy. If I remember right, I think they looks something like this ---

> Brainy -- May not Brawl , but adds +1d to Dodge and Cunning.

> Dandy -- May not Brawl, but adds +1d to Dodge and Finesse.



Is there another ability like Animal in the works? No. Because Animal is just so damn flexible it's been nearly impossible to create a reasonable alternative, short of simply giving it a different name. So I've decided to leave that to the individual players.




HAVE FUN

Those new abilities are perfect for defining "thinkers" rather than "doers".  Monsieur Poirot will be mincing across my table soon!
