Sorkin D20.

Classes: Leader, Advisor, Star, Writer, and Technician.

Toby Ziegler is a dual class Advisor/Writer. Sam Seaborn was a Writer, but in season 4 he decided to multi-class to Leader. The control room guys in Sports Night and Studio 60 are Technicians. Nancy McNally (the National Security Advisor) is dual class Technician/Advisor.

Danny Tripp is a director, which I think means he's a dual class Advisor/Writer, emphasis on the Advisor. Hard to say, though.

Are you sure Leader isn't a Prestige class?

What'd Bartlet class in before Leader? I guess college professor is a Technician.

[head58.livejournal.com]

Writer?

I'm amused that none of the people you give as examples are Stars.

[bryant]

Doh!

C. J. is a Star; all the cast of Studio 60 are Stars.

Presumably you mean 'all the characters representing 'the cast of Studio 60' ' instead of all the AUGH RECURSIVE BRAIN HURTS

Danny and Casey are cross-class Star/Writers. Might have a level in Technician.

So when's the playtest? :)

Love Interest is an NPC class, as is Bureaucrat.

None of them are Writers?

[bryant]

See Eggy's comment above. :) I dunno, maybe some of them are Writers, but the pilot doesn't show it.

Hm. I assume Charlie would be an Advisor. But what would Mrs. Bartlet be? Multi-class Leader/Advisor/Technician? (I just throw in Technician as her occasional practicing of medicine in the series)

You know, I tried really hard to think of a West Wing character that didn't fit into those classes, but nothing comes to mind - even Secret Service Agent Butterfield would be Advisor/Technician.

What about Classes for Lost?

[bryant]

Charlie's a level 1 Leader. If you think Leader is a prestige class, he's an Advisor, but he's actually the reason I have Leader as a base class. I think you have Mrs. Bartlet and Butterfield correct as well.

Lost D20 has two classes. Badass and Wuss.

I don't know - I'd be tempted to add a third class - Crazed. I mean, everyone on the island is a little loopy - but some let it control their actions more than others.

Michael - Crazed/Wuss - His shooting of Ana-Lucia was pretty cold-blooded to be something a straight-up Wuss would do.

Charlie - Crazed/Wuss

Rousseau - Crazed/Badass

Desmond - Crazed/Wuss

Ethan - Crazed/Badass

Either that or stick with Badass and Wuss and use a Sanity attribute and Insanity tables like in the Call of Cthulhu game.

And where does Jin fit in? While we know from his life in Korea that he's a Badass, he hasn't really performed in that role on the island.

Walt is a Level 1 Badass.

I'd say a Wuss can sometimes do badass things, they just don't get as many plusses.

Jin is a total Badass. He bides his time.
