this is the potential reward we thought about giving out to BEAST for their special mission table. This is in lieu of items or individualized talent requests. Please feel free to give opinions. Remember, since it was a special mission, they got XP, etc, so the talent was not designed to be as hefty as some others.
Coordinated Strike Team [Limited]
Through continued exposure to your advanced teamwork and training, you have increased your combat capabilities when fighting in a group.
Requirements: Member of B.E.A.S.T., campaign invitation only
Benefit: When adventuring in a group of 3 or more other Heroes with this Talent, you gain +1 Die to all initiative rolls. Alternatively, one time per scene when your group is coordination together to perform a physical skill action skill roll, you gain a bonus equal to one half your Hero Tier. This bonus stacks with bonuses granted by other Talents.April 2, 2015 at 6:56 pm #266955AnonymousInactiveWell, I don’t know the details of the special mission, but this talent (with a couple editing fixes) looks perfectly acceptable to me. Just to clarify…
1. Both abilities only function when 3+ at the table have this talent? Or when you have this talent and have at least 2 other BEAST members at your table?
2. Does the 1/2 round up or down?
3. Edits: “when your group is coordination together” and “to perform a physical skill action skill roll”
Requiring 3+ instances of this talent at the table makes it a lot more restrictive than requiring you to have it and have 2 other BEAST members at the table. Either way, an extra D10 on initiative and a 1/scene bonus to a skill doesn’t worry me at all.

April 2, 2015 at 6:57 pm #266957AnonymousInactiveFor the coordinated physical action skill roll bonus, is it one time per scene for EACH player that has the talent?
April 2, 2015 at 7:20 pm #266959AnonymousInactiveIn concept I have no problem with it, but I do believe the wording does need to be clarified as per above. Hell, I’d be fine with an “Additionally” rather than an “Alternatively”.
When adventuring in a group of 3 or more other Heroes with this Talent, you gain +1 Die to all initiative rolls. Additionally, once per scene when coordinating (ARPG pg 136) with another Hero with this Talent, each applicable assisting Hero provides 2+half their Tier instead of the usual +2 bonus to that Action Skill Roll. This bonus stacks with all other bonuses granted by other Talents.
April 3, 2015 at 12:10 am #266967AnonymousInactiveI meant it as an either/or…not both. The intention is that if the group (need 4 people…majority of table) have to all do a Stealth check (for example)….each would get the bonus. Not 1x per scene per Hero….and not when assisting others. (E.g, 1 person is climbing and others assist).
April 3, 2015 at 5:23 pm #266996AnonymousInactiveJust to confirm, is this a new Limited Talent option or simply one granted?
I don’t see any problems with either version of the talent.

April 3, 2015 at 11:58 pm #267025AnonymousInactiveThe players would still need to take the Talent via advancements, they do not get it for free. The special mission gives them access only.
April 4, 2015 at 12:11 am #267026AnonymousInactiveWith the caveat of changing the wording for clarity and consistency, Ithink it is fine.
One question, though: Did all the special tables get access to these special talents (not this one specifically)?
April 4, 2015 at 2:16 am #267034AnonymousInactiveNot that i am aware of. I just thought this was a bit more appropriate since they designed their table as a Ssressen strike team that works together. I believe most tables got some type of reward (gold, minor magical item, etc), on par with most mod rewards. BEAST would just be getting access to this instead of those rewards.
