I've got a character that is significantly older and
more experienced than some of the other characters in
our game. He's acted as a fixer for some of them. The
key to it is actually having contacts and resources
that the other characters don't have or can't yet use.
What's the point in having a fixer that isn't any
better connected than you are?

That said, they normally use X-Caliber as as fixer
when I'm GMing, not really when I'm playing.
Personally, I think it' a cool idea, but wonder how
fun it will be if one player just sits back from the
action for most of the game. Is he going to do
anything else?

Pete
player, GM, and general SR addict
