Character Point Rate

Mobsters are the thieves in a suit. Will and Luck is the way to go for them.

The Mobster's character point rate is:
  • Mental x 0.01; with an additional +0.2 for every level obtained in Swindle (total of +0.8 bonus possible).
  • A mobster who gets all 4 levels of Coercion gets to roll a 1d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A mobster who gets all 4 levels of Trade Death gets to roll  2d% increased by Mental as a percentage for extra character points.
  • A mobster who gets at least 1 level in every mobster skill gets their End of Session Bonus as extra character points.
  • A mobster's End of Session Bonus rate is your character point rate increased by 1/2 Luck. So if your character point rate is 1.5 and your Luck is 60, you would take 1.5 x 30 to get 45 extra character points at the end of the session. The GM can of course reward extra character points based on role playing.
