Iw:playbooks

This is a list of playbooks in use in the Interstellar wars series of games. Each has basic stats and some maneuvers. Each character starts with one maneuver, more can be purchased with experience. Each manoeuvre can only be used once per session.

Hero / Rival

Big damn hero, or a zero who will one day become one. Has fairly balanced stats, but their stress pool is quite low, meaning that most heroes die young (but usually they leave a good looking corpse).

Scientist

When you need to science the shit out of things you need the scientist.

Engineer

While the Scientist knows the theory, engineer knows the practise.

Merchant

Need something? Merchant can sell it to you, special price, only for you.

Sneak

Quiet person who fades into the background.

Survivalist

Survivalists are more at home under the open skies than inside a spaceship.

Face

Some people just get along with everyone.
