As to your previous question, Prometheus rolls 6d10 for his stealth checks. He probably is downright clumsy compared to Mistral, but add in his hacking and Larceny skills and its not impossible. And the great weakness to any Mage....
Is they think Magic first.
We could do it.
Mistral:
Sal:
9 MIB agents should be more than a match for a single werewolf and whatever goons are with him, if they're prepared.
My noob understanding of werewolves is that they laugh off regular bullets and rip through humans and most everything else like piñatas full of guts ;P We have to find out how prepared these MIBs actually are before entrusting anything to them. I don't feel comfortable leaving any of these rescues to the NPCs, and especially not the werewolf.
Depends what heat the MIB are packing. If they have access to the full Task Force: Valkyrie toolkit and know the Werewolf is a werewolf, and are prepared for it, that Werewolf doesn't have a hope. Not by itself.
Even if they have none of those things, 9 guns, full of Silver Bullets, firing at full auto... The werewolf is in trouble.
Now if they aren't packing Silver, then yeah....lets not send the squishy humans to die.
Ultimately, Mistral we have to consider one thing here.
quote:
Magic or time intensive skills (like computers) can't be trained during Time Restricted Downtime.
Given that every Downtime since I joined the game fits the description of Time Restricted Downtime, under these rules, the lack of Trainer is irrelevant. Its the lack of time that would prevent XP from being spent.
But the GMs likely HAVE to be aware of the fact that under the current rules no one could raise their magical or academic skills at any point before now. As such this implies that an Unrestricted Downtime must be coming up.
I am guessing, roughly either before the start of 0.2.0 or maybe we are about to flip into 1.0.0.
As for trainers....Mistral, I think you should be fine. You are a Guardian with a small army of Tass to sell. Even if Talion dies, its a fairly safe bet you will be able to go back to a French Concillium, to the Mages who originally trained you and offer Tass for knowledge.
Argent likewise has probably got options with the Free Council. They more then any other group are open to sharing knowledge (for a nominal fee).
Prometheus, given enough time, likewise has an option or two. Not many as he isn't a member of the Pentacle....but their is always work for unaligned mages when the Orders and Ministries don't want to get their hands dirty.
Noah, well, he's restricted to Talion, given his status as a Dragon. If Talion stays in jail, he is up shit creek without a paddle.
