Sanctioning a Privateer

Having come up with a framework to create a random Sanctioned Privateer and his Crew, I had to give it a go. So, after a couple of tweaks (I've updated the image in the previous post as well) and grasping a pile of d6s and d100s, I set to work...

The updated table - included for completeness

First up, the Privateer himself. I get d4xd6 advance points to randomly boost his stats, as per the RT rulebook. I got 3d6 = 11 points. Now, to allocate these, I roll 11d20 to see which stat they boost. Allocation rolls  = 1,4,4,6,9,11,13,15,16,18,18 = WS+1, BS+3, W+1, I+2, A+1, Ld+1, Int+2, to give:

M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	Wp
4	6	8	4	4	3	7	3	9	10	8	8

Unfortunately, as a human non-psyker, these exceed the maximum values for some characteristics, so I reallocated the overpowered stats to get:

M	WS	BS	S	T	W	I	A	Ld	Int	Cl	Wp
4	6	6	4	4	3	7	3	9	9	8	9

Yes, this leaves me two advance points short, but I was getting bored with rerolling and I figured he was enough of a badass already!

Is this epic character my Privateer's boss?

Equipment next.

Chart 1 – Pistols.  d100=73 -> Neuro Disruptor

Chart 3 – Close combat. d100=79 -> Power sword.

Chart 4 – armour. d100=89 -> Powered armour

Chart 5 – armour energy field. d100=01 -> Conversion field 

He also has d6=5 extra points to spend. I select a Plasma Pistol (4) leaving 1 in the bank.

Now, who does this dangerous sounding fellow have as his crew? Three rolls on the Crew table gives me:

d100       outcome

13           company troopers (2d6 = 6 of them) Subsequent d6 = 4, so led by a sergeant

47           beastmen (2d6 = 9 of them) Subsequent d6 = 4, so led by a sergeant (d100 = 30 so not a psychic sergeant)

88           psyker (d6 = 1 – minor hero)

In total this gives me 16 crew members. This feels like a healthy amount without being overpowered having read some battle reports, particularly as they are basically redshirts. What do these redshirts bring to the negotiating table? I get 16d6 equipment points which gives a fairly paltry 46 (an average roll of just under 3), so I allocate it as follows.

Troopers

(Free Flak armour and knife)

6 x lasguns (Guards have lasguns - unalterable Fact of White Dwarf fiction; I had to do it!)

1 x chainsword for the sergeant     

= 8pts

Two very similar faces, almost twins. Artistic laziness, or are they meant to be the Perry brothers?

Beastmen
(Free Flak armour and knife)
7 x autoguns (it's what the models I have look like they're carrying)
2 x flamers
1 x chainsword for the sergeant    
= 20pts

Psyker
(Free knife - woot!)
Conversion field
Bolt pistol
Power sword
= 11pts

This extravagant spending leaves me another 7 credits in the bank. I may yet get a couple of communicators or grenades to hand out, but this gives everyone something useful to bring to the party.

What I don't seem to be able to work out is how to determine the Psychic Mastery level of a Minor Hero psyker from the rulebook; any help on that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rab
