Trying out the newly released Rogue Stars rules and I am creating my squads. On a side project I decided to try an exercise and stat up a conventional "Space Marine" from, you know, any popular notion of what this might be.

So here is what I picked from the creation traits and equipment pick list:
Alert
Chucker
Marksman
Tough
Bionic Eyes
Jump Pack
Assault Rifle (Bolter)
Frag Grenades 3
Power Armor

Did I miss anything? At the lowest levels I am at 88 points. What do you think? At higher levels of skill in the traits and with Heavy Power armor I can easily go off the points limit and hit 122+ points.

PS: I absolutely love the concept in the D20 mechanics of this game.

OK, but in Rogue Stars the weapons XP are part of the character's build, so add the bolter. So…one RS squad of Space Marines is two guys. For the type of game, though, I'd expect scouts rather than regular marines.

I thought the characters were supposed to be kept under 70XP.

I am trying to make a set of NPC marines for an opening teaching scenario.
