On top of that, they would have access to a ton of extra equipment that four 'A or B' choices wouldn't cover because as Marines, they'd just be issued everything they needed The reality is that given the kinds of skills and traits characters use in the Alien RPG, a Colonial Marine isn't an 'Entry Level' kind of character class. Why did DoW need to significantly buff the provided PCs? Is it because to actually do Colonial Marine things, a character actually has to be competent at multiple skills and have higher traits? Chariot of the Gods works with starting PC level characters. Compare them to what you get when you make one with the Core Rules. Even Free League knew the starting PC rules were trash and that Colonial Marine characters needed a boost in order to look anything like Colonial Marines. that's definitely an opinion, lol.īut I mean, look at the provided PCs for Destroyer of Worlds. Were the Marines never Kids too? Did they just forget some skills? You created characters using the Character Creation rules in the core rules, and thought they emerged like a trained Colonial Marine should look? Even though the Alien RPG assumes a Kid and a Colonial Marine have equal ability.
