homer simpson????

SOC-14 1K
the next MAJOR question of the day is......
is homer simpson a truly great nuke tech or what??
using classic traveller - how would you classify
him - what would his "stats" be - what tech level?? and can you compare mcduff beer with
havacola?? :D :D
 
is havacola alcoholic?...duff beer seems to pack a punch...

if I remember right, the reactor was a 1957 design (mentioned in the episode where homer ACTUALLY had to try to read the operation manual...) so that's what? tech...late 7 or early 8...i'd say at least that...

stats...not strong, average maybe..6/7
intelligence?...low (5-6)
edu...he DID graduate high school...but barely and from a cruddy school too..maybe 6-8

dex?...toughy, he's not graceful, 4-6?

end? (book one sez: "...measures physical determination and stamina", for Homer? ok, he does get beat to heck..alot maybe 4-6?

soc...has a house in the 'burbs, wears a "uniform" (blue pants, white shirt, tie) that sez middle management at least...6-9 range my guess

'great nuke tech'?...more like LUCKY nuke tech...

You can probably ignore a high END score if you assume he has natural Cloth armour from the neck up
 
You got it all wrong, Homer's a scientist with an Engineering skill...

Not a very high skill rating, mind you....

You would have to allow negative skill ratings....

New Skill: "Oaf of All Trades" each level subtracts 1 from all skill attempts made by anyone in a 10 meter radius.

What I understand <from my own assumption> is that if you have it listed as a skill even a negative skill you can do it where as you might not be able to do if its listed as not being able to be done untrained if you didnt have the skill listed so somebody with negative skill levels could do a skill as they are trained to do if they have the slill even negative a negative skill they would just add a penalty to the base DC of the task for the skill of course this only applys to D20 I think
 
He can move around his body and carry stuff (he has thrown Patty and Selma around 3-4 meters) so he rates an 8
Homer has variable dexterity (from 3-5 usually to 13 on Whacking Day)
He has no non-exhausted swings (his brief boxing career) and a rather pitiful stamina so around 4 Endurance, has no more than a 4 intelligence (MANY Examples) and his education is a 4 as well (While he completed high school he has managed to kill the brain cells that contain this information, as per the agreement he made with his brain)
He can survive INTENSE nuclear radiation (actually glowing in daylight), incredible falls with relatively minimal damage
His social status is working class slob, so is around 6.
He has a new attribute (like a Vargr has the new attribute charisma and a hiver has curiosity) called Too Stupid Too Die. He has a 15 in this
Skillswise, he has I Think I Know How a Nukuler Plant Works 3, Dumbass Luck 2, Drive 2 (Yes, a real skill!), Assess Chili 5, Steward - (Bowling Alley, Alcohol Mixing) 3 (Another real skill), Survival 1 (He climbed Mount Springfield and spent the night naked in the woods), Snuggle with Marge 2, Admin 1 (Mostly on how to manage a Country & Western singer), Computer 2 (he managed an internet site for a while, until he was kidnapped to The Village), Linguistics 1 (Japanese)
Lisa 363A85 Music 3, Several Science Skills 2
Bart 473535 Demolitions 1, Vehicle (Skateboard) 2, Linguistics 2 (French, Japanese)
Marge 666886 Steward 3, Linguistics 1 (French)
Maggie 393816 Animal Handling 2

Yeah, but he discovered it by accident.

It is his general alcoholism more than real skill
 
Well in the Gurps system you would have to give him a advantage being To Dumb To Die I mean Homer does all sorts of stupid things that get other Simpsons characters killed remember the episode with good ole Grimey in it who died buy trying to emulate Homer and grabed a power cable :D
