My second true RPG. This one is different from my other ones though. Quite a bit complex. And here comes the longest OP you'll ever see.
I'll start with a basic story:
The apocalypse has come. This time, rather than most fears of a nuclear end, this one is biological. You and several friends and strangers are the only ones left in this city of 500,000 inhabitants, along with a few hundred raiders and survivors. You must now survive.
Basic Sheet:
Name: Age: Build: (Stocky, muscular, nimble, thin, fat, athletic) Class: (Biological engineer, computer expert, security guard, worker, fighter, sniper, mechanical engineer, doctor) Strength: (Your overall strength) Intelligence: (How smart you are) Health: (Not HP mind you) (How healthy you are) Common Sense: (Determined by me from you're first decisions) Agility: (How maneuverable and how fast you are) Accuracy: (How accurate you are with ranged and melee weapons) Determination: (How much determination you have [morale]) Toughness: (How much you can withstand) Status: (Injured, sick, infected, healthy) Skills: (Your skills) Inventory: (Your inventory) Friends: (Friends within the cell) Enemies: (Enemies [people you don't get along with] within the cell)
Nice and long eh? Only one build/class per person. You have 5 basic points on everything. I will outline how much points you have reduced or increased in each.

4 People at the moment. If you see me not post for a good while, chances are I'm organizing new scenarios for you guys to deal with. That means stop posting until I get some new scenarios through.
B) Make my own option I ask Mike to try to split them up. If I can get them by themselves and in melee combat, I should be able to win hands-down. But I remain stealthy.

Alas, you are too late. Attackers from outside were alerted to your position and attacked. The destroy the windows and styrofoam that makes up the barricades.
You see the nomads unleash upon the minimart and destroy the front, and hear yelling from inside. You also hear several gunshots. Somebody was injured you figure, and you also lost the element of surprise.
A) Make your own

Not realizing you had no glue sticks, you are struck with a stave in the head and start to bleed profusely. You are still conscious, but are in horrific pain.

You attempt to fire into the crowd, but fail. The become more enraged. You manage to kill the leader though.
Lol. Gunshots? But I thought you said they were unarmed? Whatever. I stealthily crawl to somewhere where I can see what's going on, taking extreme caution to remain unseen and unheard.

[I just realized I have 7 common sense ]
A) Continue to fire into the crowd, firing once every 2 seconds. If barricade is breached, I hide. Also, I use hand signals toward jonathan to indicate to attack them from behind.
I hit him with the bat, but try to either maim him in such a way that he can't fight, or knock him out. I don't want to kill them all; prisoner might be useful.

A) I suddenly leap over the barricade, hoping that will confuse them, being attacked on both sides. I aim for the arms and legs. I also dodge any attack that comes my way by avoiding it with agility.
