He reminds me of this crazy guy in a town I used to live in. He'd walk around with a Katana strapped to his back staring at people. The police couldn't arrest him because the Katana wasn't concealed.
He also drive around in a beat up pickup truck with a trampoline on the back. Every once in a while he'd stop and do gymnastics performances.
When he was driving around he'd mutter into an electric bullhorn strapped to the top of his truck. Nobody could understand a word he was saying. Maybe that guy was the inspiration for Russell.
That has got to be the worst coat in the history of all gaming.
But you pick your dump stat & pay the price... and the Cha Dump will cost you a dorky coat, bad haircut, and shoes that retards wouldnt wear.
as for the flipflops atached to his boots. I think they are working boots like those used by builder or firemen (the strap could be a buckle or even a grounding strap) I know I used to have to wear something simalar when I worked in a factory a few years ago.
or maybe it's just he hasn't been brainwashed by corprate advertising campaigns and dresses how he wants to dress and not wear what everyone says is cool just becuse the latest pop star is wearing such cloathes (if that's the case then I take my hat off to him)
wear what everyone says is cool just becuse the latest pop star is wearing such cloathes
Army feildjackets are not cool because the latest 15min of fame star is wearing one; it is the Popstar that is cool because they are wearing an army fieldjacket.
Always wear the field jacket,
cause every couple of years fashion will make you really cool, without you having to buy a bunch of junk every 3 months trying to keep up with fashion.
...
Maybe Russel didnt make Cha his dump,
from choosing to wear that outfit it appears Wisdom is his weakness.
I always figured that was a mastercraft leather jacket, care of the Knights of the Silver Dragon (the owners of the insignia on the side), and is that horrid colour because it repels displacer beasts.
...also repels attractive members of the opposite sex...hell any sex...bugbears included lol
If it keeps the bugbears away, it is worth any cost. Well, those and the airheaded former cheerleaders (will save DC 25 or take 1d6+1 permanent points of int damage for each minute spent listening to them).
sorry, i'm afraid i'd have to pass on that bit of loot, i dont care how dumb they are...in fact, i prefer them stupid..makes em easier to catch..but thats just me, and has nothing to do with gaming LOL ...MOVING ON!!
...also repels attractive members of the opposite sex...hell any sex...bugbears included lol
Check out page 188, the picture of the iconics at the movie theater. It's obvious that his jacket does not repel members of the opposite sex.
And Russell just sits there with a cocky look, just knows he's gonna score.
Yeah, but she's covering her face with both hands.
BOTH hands? Maybe I'm blind, but I see ONE hand over her face, and the other hand clutching his goofy jacket in a gesture that screams 'ohmygodsaveme!' and Russell is like 'chill out, baby!'
I wonder who that is, anyway. Alexandra? Lily? Roberta's too much of a square, and Stephanie's probably in the slammer.
...and did Brandon sneak in a flask or something? He looks a little messed up. Maybe Yoriko decked him for pulling the old yawning maneuver. Brandon probably dumped charisma, that's for sure.
Either that or constitution. After all, her knuckle sandwiches are probably pretty low-cal, if you follow me...
"I can't believe my co-workers set me up with this loser
What a stunning conversation about KnowlegeTactics he could provide
he is the Field Officer and they need CHA.
So it just proves that high bonuses can offset the circumstance penaties on rolls, just as Russells CHA offsetts the penalties from his flipflop boots & fishsticks jacket
he was able to comand that mech to rip its own head off.... cause he obviously didnt cut a 8' thick neck with a 3' sword.
It occurs to me that Russell couldnt make CHA his dump stat,
he is the Field Officer and they need CHA.

While it is possible that Charisma was not Russell's dump it is also possible that it was, after all with the exception of d20past, the manuals don't give us any hint when each Iconic character took the advanced class they are modeling, also with occupations and the complete lack of multiclass restrictions it would be no trouble at all for Russell to pick up the Diplomacy ranks needed to become a Field officer.
You're right. It IS one hand. I was looking in the post 4E D20 modern book somebody left on my front door in a plain brown parcel. They changed the picture in that one.
Are you joking or serious (about the post 4e manual i mean). It isn't always easy to tell when you can't see or here the person you're talking to. Although for my money the look on Russell's face seems to say that he's the one not enjoying the date.
So it just proves that high bonuses can offset the circumstance penaties on rolls, just as Russells CHA offsetts the penalties from his flipflop boots & fishsticks jacket
:D - OR, his Charisma and therefore style is so far beyond us we just can not cope with reality and instead see a strong dork. (Urban Arcana explanation there, BAM!)
- On that note...can someone photoshop him into the Personality Advanced Class pic LoL! *print & gluestick*.
You can dress him up, but he is still a caveman

- Damn...that is sexy...Maybe he benefits from the Badass Fashion Exemption clause: the more badass you are, the more you can get away with wearing a ridiculous outfit :P
Cited precedence: Bruce Willis : 5th Element (Blaze orange beater and gray life -jacket vest?)
new releases mean the characters get new outfits.
Maybe Russel will catch a fashion break in the next book
And possibly adds +2 to Murderation.
And I'm kinda serious about that Murderation bonus. He's not nearly as confident without it. Wearing a Mastercraft Artifact Leather Jacket for the past bazillion years and suddenly doing without can do that.
Also, can anyone remember if that was cool in 2002?
bringing it up to to what... +2 total?
What Hide Bonus do you get for wearing Green & Yellow with Red bandana?
+2 TrafficLight Camo for urban adventures?
Military Occ = Cut your hair and get a real job
!But with the Stelth feat his Hide skill goes up by +2,
bringing it up to to what... +2 total?
What Hide Bonus do you get for wearing Green & Yellow with Red bandana?

No one complains when Wolverine hides in yellow spandex ;).

Actually, I think some movie exec somewhere did... hence the lack of yellow spandex in the movies. :P
.I thought it was obvious with Russell being a Strong Hero and all. :P
That said, the gun looks like some sort of assault rifle amalgam.
[INDENT]Amalgum Arms AR2
5.56 Assault Rifle pl5
Size Large
Weight 8lb
Damage 2d8
RI 80
Rate S,A
Ammo 30 Mag
PDC 17
The AR2 is the finest advancement in firearms technology in the 20th century. It shoots farther and straighter than any other rifle, and delivers more damage to the target with both a higher power round and more ammo capacity. Being lighter and smaller than all other similar guns makes the AR2 popular with the troops, and the low cost makes it popular with the military. Overall, the Amalgum AR2 is simply better than all other weapons ever.[/INDENT]
But hey, like any of the others do...
I think that gun just dont live up to its fluff text

Funny, that sounds like FN marketing...

I swear at one point or another every thread here ends up either being a debate about armor *eyes the iowa battleship* or the FN or both
Russell is missing a leg.
Its not our fault that according to the logic of d20 Modern one would be better served strapping a motor to a 10-20th level character armed with an FN instead of using an Iowa battleship... :P

Where's my copy of Cyberscape?
He reminds me of this crazy guy in a town I used to live in. He'd walk around with a Katana strapped to his back staring at people. The police couldn't arrest him because the Katana wasn't concealed.
He also drive around in a beat up pickup truck with a trampoline on the back. Every once in a while he'd stop and do gymnastics performances.
When he was driving around he'd mutter into an electric bullhorn strapped to the top of his truck. Nobody could understand a word he was saying. Maybe that guy was the inspiration for Russell.
This reminds me of a guy I saw behind McDonald's once. He was dirty and shaggy, and was wearing one flip flop and one boot. He had just taken some cardboard out of the McDonald's dumpster. My friend and I joked that he was from the future (don't ask where we got that from) and that he came back in time to gather cardboard, which is (or rather will be) a precious commodity in the future.
That comes up constantly in games now.
Hey!
Russell is missing a leg.
I noticed that too......
so we cant see it due to the hide bonus it confers
A group of post-apocalyptic nomads spend some downtime enjoying a fine game of softball.
The Last Samurai
You'll have to excuse my picture editing skills, they aren't as refined as backstabbist's.
I'd watch that.
he cant be a ninja because he doesnt have his Fishsticks jacket or silly boots to help his stealth skills.
Trust the Russell's Fisherman!
Trust the Russell's Fisherman!
It keeps the blood off! :D
It keeps the blood off!
are you kidding?
That jacket is totally stained by yellow demon blood
he even had to put patches over the holes from alien acid blood
Is anyone else seeing those buttless chaps on the right side of the picture?

It's Russell's father.
why cant Russell?
btw: the fan in my laptop decided to change from a dynamic to static object,
so I can only run the laptop till it heats up
.... pretty much right after booting I need to shut it down and blow into the vents.
The bad news is, it is a $70 blower.
The good news is, I wont be out that $70 cause its out of stock Pulls all the places I looked.

failed that wealth check did you? :P
Can't you put the laptop in a freezer, pull up a stool, and be good to go?
I can think of more interesting things to put in freezers.

it may not be such a good idea :embarrass.
Sure he's gone with black leather and tan hardware, but once you realize that it's not yellow he's wearing, but tan, it makes more sense.
As for the jacket, it's actually two jackets. The motorcycle riding jacket.
And a standard grey hoodie.
Add in the chainmail (in brown, tan, yellow, or grey, your choice depending on the picture), and the undershirt (probably some sort of UnderArmor⁚).
.thanx,
I was thinking of making a sidemount suckerfan,
and looks like that link has one ready to go.
More importantly,
it looks like a thin blower that I might be able to strip & use as a replacement internal fan
.... with a heapin helpin of RedNeck Tech & doodadery

I wish somebody like this lived near me.
What's wrong with russel's outfit? I like the jacket, especially the cool dragon patch.
Anyway, check out my sig for stats that were developed for all 12 iconic characters. Sadly, you can't post there anymore because it has been sent to the archives.
that there is some Fishstick Guy out there somewhere getting all wet
because some jerk with a sword mugged him for his coat
Its kinda sad

Russell doesn't summon shaodw shadow summons Russellwhen she goes outside in the morning
she summons shadow
Russell found the coat in a treasure chest within the Dungeon of Enron.
will Russell get a decent outfit this time?
I'm thinkin Black&Yellow Spandex
I like him the way he is...
But that pic proves he didnt Dump Cha,
he was able to comand that mech to rip its own head off.... cause he obviously didnt cut a 8' thick neck with a 3' sword.
Isn't it obvious, the grunts did the real fighting, an AT gun blew the mech's head off, and Field Commander Russell posed dramatically on it for the photo shoot after the battle.
