All Snipers have mastered the art of rifle combat. Add +1 to all attack rolls made with this type of weapon.
Camouflage
The Sniper is able to add terrain elements (like grass and leafy branches) to his garb to further increase the effectiveness of his Camouflage. Add +5 to Hide and AC.
Personal Weapon
The Sniper has lived and bonded with a specific weapon. (Some times they give it a name) Add +1 to all attack and damage roles when using his baby.
Steady hand
At level four the Sniper develops a knack for calming his own nerves. The -4 penalty for using the sniper feat is reduced to -3.
True shot
A true Sniper never misses. This feat allows him rerole a failed attack roll once per day or treat a successful attack as a critical success once per week.
Freeze
When a Sniper is stalking, or if some one is trying to spot him, he has the ability to freeze and remain utterly motionless for a total of two minutes times his constitution score plus ten. Constitution check DC10 for every minute after that. Add +1 to the DC for every minute past his limit. For as long as he remains frozen add +5 to the snipers hide check.
Behind enemy lines
The Sniper must operate behind enemy lines and in unfamiliar terrain. He is well trained in this area and receives a +2 bonus to Spot and Survival rolls.
Master work weapon
The Imperium has at its disposal a hand full of master weapon smiths that do incredible work. At level ten the Sniper is considered a master at his trade and is awarded a weapon to suit his talents. The weapon received is a masterwork three times over, add +3 to all attack and damage roles.
 
Great Post!

I would rename the Master work weapon to Greater Masterwork weapon in order to reduce confusion (There's no way to actually avoid confusion in this universe.).

:cool:
 
Here is The Sniper as a pdf...not finalized yet, I need to go to bed


Da Snipa!

I added a small range increment bonus and a crit multiplier bonus to him as well. The Prior History Mishap might seem incredibly harsh, but that is just how I look at it.


Oh, couldn't find his stamina dice or skill pionts per level so i used d8 and 5+int, he needs plenty of skill points for his dirty work.
 
Nice work, but you forgot to mention something in the Requirements.
You must be on active duty for the Marine or Army service class, or the Mercenary core class.

I`m sure it was just an oversight. By the way how late did you stay up working on that?
 
The Sniper looks good. However, for a combat -oriented character, the skills-per-level are too high. Even the Big-Game Hunter only gets 4+int per level, and the Ace Pilot only 2+Int per level. That's the trade-off in T20: Good in combat, fewer skills.
 
Hokay, new version up. Put his skillpoints at 2+int and cleaned a few things up.

The Sniper

Just 3 am or somthing like that, Zanrain
It is not all that hard really, just type it up in Word and then feed it to Acrobat. If you want to add some illustrations, as you said in a earlier post, just mail them to me at havoc1@pegasi.org
