SPECIAL RESPONSE TEAM

The Special Response Team (SRT) is a Special

Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit within a law

enforcement organization. This team includes a four-

person assault team and a two person containment

team. In a large city, both teams would form the

core of a much larger group, likely close to 60 with

everyone in the ﬁ eld. In a small town or rural area,

this might be the whole team, and in such a case,

they might not even be full time SWAT. Rather, they

would be regular police ofﬁ cers trained in SWAT

tactics with their armor and weapons in the trunk of

their vehicle, ready to switch from ofﬁ cer to operator

at the ﬂ ip of a switch. The team might even belong

to a state or federal law enforcement organization,

like the FBI.

The SRT would be activated when the police are

faced with a hostage situation, a barricade situation,

or are required to serve a high risk warrant. A hostage

situation could be anything from a husband forcibly

conﬁ ning his wife in their apartment to a bank heist

gone wrong, with the robbers trapped inside the

bank with the clients and staff. A barricade situation

could be a single person in their home with weapons

or a group of armed individuals in a house or ofﬁ ce

complex. An arrest warrant might be considered

high risk if the individual to be served has a record

of violence or is suspected of having ﬁ rearms or

other deadly weapons. In all these instances, the

police would likely activate the SRT or at the very

least, have the team on stand-by, ready to move.

Please note that while the SRT is based on actual

SWAT team structure, practices, and equipment, it is

a ﬁ ctional team and some of the character design is

predicated on game mechanics.

Each character is listed in a standard statblock.

Along with rules dependent information, each

listing includes some ﬂ avor and tactics information.

Possessions: This includes the weapons and

equipment the character will use when operating

in the SRT. Depending on the campaign and the

kickers.”

light sticks (5), fatigues, ﬂ ash goggles, gas mask, lock

release gun, mesh vest, multipurpose tool, tactical

radio, tactical vest armor, upper leg holster, zip-tie

handcuffs (25).

Personality: Every group has its joker, the person

who thinks they are hilarious. For the most part, Jester

is pretty amusing. He isn’t a stand-up comedian, but

he knows when to make a sly comment or the realistic

imitation of ﬂ atulence. His humor is relatively juvenile,

but that’s okay, it’s more about cutting tension than

actual comedy. He doesn’t really do the “tough guy

cop” very well, but those who know him can feel the

tension when the smile leaves his face.

Aptitude: While he doesn’t have an encyclopedic

knowledge of movies, he is always dropping

quotes from ﬁ lms, usually the most famous

ones. This is usually done to break the

tension, but they also pepper Jester’s

conversations, delivering a succinct

summary of a situation or caricaturing

an individual. While his teammates

like to complain about Jester’s movie

quotes, no one really dislikes them.

Sometimes the quotes are delivered

at inopportune moments, but for the

most part they break the tension and

give everyone a good chuckle. Some

have even become group shared

quotes, like “It’s all in the reﬂ exes,” and

“Psychopaths kill for no reason. I kill for

money. It’s a job.”

Failing: For the most part, Jester

is lazy. He does his job, doesn’t try to duck his

responsibilities, and always puts in 110%, but outside

of his work, he doesn’t do much. His idea of a good

day off involves a lot of sitting around, maybe some

sun, a movie on the TV, and a couch.

Goal: Jester’s main goal is to perfect his craft. That

craft is close quarters assault. Jester spends hours

on the range practicing his shooting, then more

hours in the killing house training with his team. He

devours books about the psychology of criminals and

hostage-takers, though the books are usually aimed

at the general public rather than psychologists.

Motivation: Jester did well all through school, but

he wasn’t a very physical student. He never did well in

gym class and didn’t excel at sports. In his senior year,

he started to blossom, but he had little time. He went

to college for law and security, and made the decision

to be a police ofﬁ cer, a very physical occupation. Once

in the police force, Jester wanted to be the best. His

idea of the best, physically, was the SRT, so that’s what

he aimed for. Now in the SRT, he wants to be the best

at his position, proving to himself he has the brawn

as well as the brain.

Tactics, standard: Jester is ﬁ rst through the door.

He focuses on targets in front of him. Depending on

the shape of the room, he continues to move forward

and swings his aim to the right or left. He will end his

swing after covering a 90 degree arc. He then swings

his aim back to forward. Each target he identiﬁ es, he

attacks with burst ﬁ re. He will not move on to another

target until the target he has attacked is neutralized.

Tactics, long-range: It is rare that Jester engages

anyone at a distance greater than the average

warehouse, but if he has to, he makes a single attack

then advances on the target until within ﬁ ve range

increments. When advancing with the team, he

covers the left ﬂ ank.

Tactics, short-range: Within ﬁ ve range increments,

Jester makes burst ﬁ re attacks on a target until that

target is neutralized. With Close Combat Shot, Jester

does not provoke attacks of opportunity, but he still

attempts to remain outside of melee range.

Tactics, melee: Jester always trys to move out of

melee range, but if he cannot, he continues to make

attacks with his MP5K, focusing on one target until

that target is neutralized and then moving on to

another. Whenever possible, Jester attempts to leave

melee range, as long as doing so will not trigger an

attack of opportunity.

Quotes: “Criminals. I hate these guys.”

“What color is the boathouse at Hereford?”

“One does not simply walk into Mordor.”

Personality: Boss is absolutely that, the boss,

and he won’t let his team forget it. He’s not a micro-

manager he knows how to delegate and is happy

to do it. He doesn’t hang at people’s shoulders or

ignore suggestions, but the ﬁ nal decision is his.

Once that decision is made, Boss isn’t happy about

dissension. He expects his people to do their jobs. He

is also considered ruthless, and will do whatever is

necessary to ensure hostages remain unharmed. He
