I'm working on some characters that have pushed me in an interesting direction with stunts. Sharing them here to get some feedback.<\/p>\n

First up: Agent Coulson, as portrayed in the recent Marvel movies.<\/p>\n

Agent Coulson<\/b>
High Concept: Unshakeable S.H.E.I.L.D. Agent
Trouble: Fanboy
– Cat Herder
– S.H.E.I.L.D.\u00a0Tech
– Deadpan (or: Level 10 Clearance)<\/p>\n

+4: Empathy
+3: Rapport, Contacts
+2: Shoot, Fight, Lore
+1: Stealth, Athletics, Drive, Will<\/p>\n

Stunts<\/b>
Psychologist.<\/b> Once per session you can reduce someone else\u2019s consequence by one level of severity (severe to moderate, moderate to mild, mild to nothing at all) by succeeding on an Empathy roll with a difficulty of Fair (+2) for a mild consequence, Good (+3) for moderate, or Great (+4) for severe. You need to talk with the person you\u2019re treating for at least half an hour in order for them to receive the benefits of this stunt, and you can\u2019t use it on yourself. (Normally, this roll would only start the recovery process, instead of changing the consequence level.)<\/p>\n

I know your weak spots.<\/b> You can use Empathy for mental-track Attacks, rather than Provoke, provided you've at least studied the target's S.H.I.E.L.D. profile, or had a chance to talk with them for a few moments.<\/p>\n

I was briefed before the mission.<\/b> Spend a Fate Point to use any one skill at Fair for the rest of the [scene\/session?].<\/p>\n

The "I was Briefed…" stunt is a bit of a new direction for a Stunt, and I'm curious what people think about it. My thought is that it let's Coulson 'cover' gaps in a group's skills without overshadowing anyone who's made that one of their peak skills. I'm inclined to go full-session with the stunt, since a single scene will probably only require one roll, which you could get a +2 on with just the Fate Point and his High Concept aspect.<\/p>\n
