Title: Gangs by Proxy
Post by: agony on May 16, 2011, 05:19:08 PM

So, how do you handle a Hardholder sending his Gang to rough up another group.

The book gives an example of a Gang being ordered to seize a bunker in a miserable charge and the player rolls his own stat while acting through the gang.

Well, what if my hardholder has a 0-Hard but my Gang is tough as nails.  If I send them after some hooligans and have them Go Aggro shouldn't their Hard be higher?

Well, if their job is too remote for them to count as an extension of the Hardholder, just use the usual principles to decide what happens.

I mean, if the gang's big and the hooligans few and undisciplined, I'd just have the gang bring their heads back or whatever. And vice versa.
