Character Bio:

From far upstate New York, Malcolm Larsen was barely 17 when America broke apart. Naturally more inclined to academic than physical pursuits (though he did spent much of his youth outdoors in the Adirondacks), Larsen enrolled in an engineering program at the local university, paying his way through school by doing cropdusting and other odd jobs in an old biplane he purchased for a few hundred dollars. After he was banned from the engineering program (for attempting to synthesize an explosive chemical he read about in a library book), he turned to piloting full time.

Added overconfidence, which I think covers the -5.

Also, since this is a pulp setting with 1940s technology, I'm going to be very sad if the XF5U doesn't make an appearance at some point.

Does the office's 25% bonus include equipment (aircraft, vehicles, etc.)?

In character reasoning: inflation after the government collapsed, reducing trust in American financial institutions.

Give 'Em Helicopter

I'm assuming we'll build a runway soon, this plan lets us get the office cheaply, so we can apply its discount to everything in the future.

Malcolm

"I doubt we're going to be buying any tanks just now, considering how we're not exactly rolling in money. Still, having some good drivers will be useful, and anyone who can drive a 30 ton chunk of steel can handle a jeep just fine I bet."

The boat drivers also look fine to me, it's the other guys from Conch who have the morale penalty.

Stuff for Malcolm Larsen:

1 Browning Hi-Power: $450
1 M79: $1200
1 Knife of some kind: $50

Total: $1700

As a character action, start practicing with the Hi-Power.

edit: Updated to take advantage of my explosives skill (also, in character, my dude loves explosives). Also added total money required.
