====== Character training packages ======

Note that disadvantages can be swapped for other suitable ones. Specially common among all rangers are codes of honor, vows, mild odious personal habits.

You can take up to 10 less points in stats and advantages and leave those points to Basic skills/background if you wish.

==== Investigator ====

It’s crucial to know where you’re headed, when the opposition intends to move, what you (or they) are grabbing, who
you’re shooting at, and why.Hitting the wrong mark can be
embarrassing – or fatal. You might not be as slick as the face
man, a computer wizard like the hacker, or the equal of the wire rat at surveillance, but you still
get the facts, and can coordinate these experts and analyze
their results.

This is the "Standard" ranger package with more then half of all rangers being investigators.

==== Faceman ====

I just don’t understand it. I lie, I cheat,
I steal, and I just don’t get any respect!
– Faceman,The A-Team (Episode 65)

Every crew needs a “social engineer”
– they just don’t know it yet! You’ll convince them, though, because that’s your
gift. Whether it’s fast-talking the guards
at the gate or setting up the long con,
you’re a pro at getting close to the mark
and into his confidence. Your biggest
asset is a devious mind, but you also
possess cat-like grace and disarming
good looks. Your chief weakness is that even your closest associates can’t quite bring themselves to trust you.

====INFILTRATOR====

I came in from the roof. I dropped twenty floors down on a
McNeal descender.
– Virginia Baker,Entrapment

You’re adept at getting into places that nobody else can get
into and taking things that everybody else wants – preferably
sans explosions and gunshots. If all goes well, the first person
to discover your handiwork is the ambassador who can’t find
his briefcase the next morning, or the watchman who realizes
the Rembrandt is gone after it’s hanging in your condo by Central Park. When working with a crew, your priority is to go in
ahead and open the door.

==== MEDIC ====

Ten-four, we’re transmitting EKG. We’re sending you a strip.
Vitals to follow. Pulse is 160, the victim is in extreme pain, Rampart. V-fib!
– Paramedic John Gage, Emergency

Firefights, explosions, and car crashes mean injuries – and
when the hurt comes down, you’re ready with the dressings
and defibrillator paddles. You might be a military field medic,
an urban EMT, a first-rate physician, or a third-rate vet who
stitches up mobsters for cash. Whatever your credentials, you
find uses for your medical expertise even when nobody has
been shot: captives need drugging, allies need antidotes, and
an action hero’s world is full of scorpion stings, snakebites, and
terrorist bioweapons.

==== WHEELMAN ====

Transportation is a precise business.
– Frank Martin, The Transporter

As E.B. White said, “Everything in life is somewhere else,
and you get there in a car.” Sometimes you get there in a van,
a chopper, or a rigid inflatable boat, but that maxim is a golden
rule for action heroes. Whether you’re a lone transporter who
moves high-value cargoes for a fee, or a chauffeur for gangsters, 
soldiers, or dignitaries, your stock in trade is the ride. You
customize the vehicle, choose the routes, and sit behind the
controls.

====SHOOTER====
National sports pistol champion at age 10. Recruited by the
army. Sounds like black ops got him and trained him.
– Hertz, Shoot ’Em Up

It wouldn’t be an action story if the floor wasn’t covered
with spent brass eventually – and while the entire squad shoots
when the chips are down, you’re a true gunslinger. You’ll tackle
a whole building full of mooks, need be . . . you’re that good.
The assassin (p. 7) scores higher with the sniper rifle and the
demolition man (pp. 8-9) does better with explosive weaponry,
but you’re not choosy. If it shoots, you can and will use it.

==== Sniper ====

The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it
lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to
being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for
example, is the last thing you learn.
– Léon,Léon

You are sniper with a uniform and a serial number. Whatever your
background, your specialty is quick, silent death. Where the
demolition man (pp. 8-9) might demolish a city block “just to
be sure,” and the shooter (p. 14) would dive right in, 
guns blazing, you take pride in precision. On a squad, you’re the one the
mooks don’t see, covering your allies from a stealthy perch.

==== Demolition man ====


You want broke, blind, or bedlam?

– Basher Tarr, Ocean’s Eleven

Setting bombs is an excellent way to learn how to defuse
them, while disarming them means thinking like a bomber.
Thus, “demolition man” describes explosive ordnance disposal
technicians, combat engineers, and mad bombers. All require
a steady hand and familiarity with explosives, arson, and sabotage. 
The differences amount to “How crazy are you?” and
“Who pays for your work?” If you belong to a team, you get the
fun jobs of clearing booby traps ahead and leaving nasty surprises behind.

You’re the crew’s ears and eyes. Cameras, mikes, tracking
beacons, wiretaps, lasers bounced off windows, optical fibers
under doors . . . no act of electronic privacy invasion is too
small. Small is good, actually, because it’s harder to see. When
there’s nothing on CCTV, you entertain yourself rigging remote
detonators for the demolition man , running cable for
the hacker, and cutting power for the infiltrator.
 You’re truly a hotshot with the soldering gun.

These are not the normal ranger trainings, but there are quite many types of people in the rangers.

====FIXER====

You know this empire,you know its people,and you know its
dirty little secrets. If someone needs to locate a person, place,
or thing, you either know where it is, or you know someone
who knows someone who does.When an investigation calls for
working the streets or talking to witnesses, you’re a natural fit
for the job–and if the team has a dedicated driver, it’s probably you. 
Others might have twitchier reflexes, but nobody
knows the streets like you do!

====SCOUT====

You specialize at moving quickly and quietly–slipping in
and out of a place like a ghost, leaving no trace behind.

During an investigation, you’re the one who can get into
hard-to-reach areas, whether sneaking into a crime scene or
scaling up to a second-story window to retrieve an important
record. When approaching a possible hostile place, you’re all about recon–
staying ahead of the rest of the team so you can sneak upon
anything dangerous.Once combat starts,you’re quick to find
a perch and start sniping.

from analyzing a crime scene to patching up an a stylaceration.

Primary and secondary skills: 50 points from the package. 
   * If the package has more than 50 points skills, then reduce the levels of 4+ points skill of your choice by one level each until suitable.
   * If the package has less than 50 points skills, then first add one more pick to all "choose X skills from" lists. Next increase the levels of 4-8 points skills of your choice by one level each until suitable and if still points over raise first 2 point skills to 4 and then 1 point to 2.
   * Any 1-3 points left over are then used in the Basic skills/background part of character creation.


=====Enchanced Templates=====
These are all 350 point templates. They include the character basic training and an edge into one package.  If you select one of these then use only 150 points in the [[Training/Experience packages]] instead of 300 in [[Character special background]] on the professional trainings as if you already had an edge.

==== Gunslinger ====

You’re a one-person combat squad! In your hands, a gun is more precise than a surgeon’s scalpel. If it can be
put down with bullets, you can do it. If not, you can hold your
own with other forms of combat, too – and enough firepower
can often weaken a foe enough for one of your teammates to
land a true killing blow. Your situational awareness helps you
predict your enemies’ tactics and find the best cover before the
fight starts..

your creators were Good Guys that you still work for, or Bad
Guys that you managed to escape, you now use your advanced
body and mind to protect humanity.
