The character creation chapter closes with write-ups for the main characters from the series, provided as examples. Conveniently, and in the interest of Leverage’s fast-play style, any remaining blanks can be filled in on-the-fly later. The outcomes of those scenes will determine the ratings of the character’s third-tier roles, and will be used to create the character’s Distinctions one chosen by the player, and two chosen by the other players – a fun feature of the game after all, you can’t always control how your ‘co-workers’ see you… By the end of the Recruitment Job, most of the blanks on the character sheets (called ‘rap sheets’ in this context) will be filled in. This initial job is played out as an abbreviated con, with a spotlight scene for each character, where they are teamed with another Crewmember. It reprises the sort of communal character creation seen in Spirit of the Century and Smallville, in the form of a ‘pilot episode’. The Recruitment Job is an interactive way to create a team of characters that work well together. Characters also get Specialties, Distinctions and Talents – Specialties represent focused training in a particular skill, Distinctions are descriptive terms similar in many ways to FATE Aspects, and Talents are unique ‘rule breaking’ abilities which function much like D&D Feats (but with much more evocative and entertaining names). Their other roles will get a d6 or a d4, depending upon player preference and the outcome of the Recruitment Job. A character’s primary Role in the Crew is rated as a d10 their secondary role is rated as a d8. Like other Cortex games, these are rated by die-type.
LEVERAGE ROLEPLAYING GAME AMAZON PLUS
In Leverage, Characters have the customary Cortex primary Attributes Agility, Alertness, Intelligence, Strength, Vitality, and Willpower, plus ratings in each of the Roles needed for a ‘Leverage’ Crew Hacker, Hitter, Grifter, Thief, and Mastermind. The Leverage version of Cortex Plus is closer to ‘original Cortex’ than the version found in the Smallville RPG, tuned to be a sleek and efficient engine for running teams of ultra-competent characters who seldom fail at tasks – but who often find themselves in complicated trouble. The text is written in a breezy style, addressing the reader directly – and it includes asides that put the reader directly into the mindset of the crusading anti-heroes that are the game’s focus. The illustrations, all stills taken from the series, add to the crisp atmosphere of the presentation.
The layout of the finished rulebook is outstanding it’s slick, clean, and very readable.
