Part 1: Agency Characters

Introduction

Blood line, our signature series of modern genre books

and also as a line of its own. In the future, we will release

small agency books adding new agencies speciﬁc to some

classic genres, often by combining forces with one or more

of our other books (especially Blood and Fists, Blood and

Vigilance, Blood and Guts, and Blood and Circuits).

Since these agencies play a larger role in the ﬁction on

which Modern games are based, we think this book will ﬁnd

a welcome home in your campaign. Let us know how we

did.

Welcome to Blood and Secrets, a superagent sourcebook

for Modern d20 games. The superagency is a staple of

modern ﬁction, from spy movies and TV shows, to comics

(where the agencies almost always have those cool acronym

names) and have even begun to branch out into the science

ﬁction and horror genres (where the agency represents the

government’s attempt to combat the forces of darkness).

These shadowy agencies often operate outside the law

and agents are typically disavowed when captured as each

individual agent less important than the shroud of secrecy

around the agency. This book both serves as part of the

Requirements

To qualify to become an analysis agent a character must

meet the following criteria (the quickest path into this class

is through the Smart Hero basic class).

Allegiances: Any one agency

Skills: Knowledge (current events) 6 ranks, Knowledge

(tactics) 6 ranks, Research 6 ranks, 1 rank in either Read/

(Str)

Skill points at each level: 3 + Int. modiﬁer

Class Features

All of the following are features of the agency protector

advanced class.

Armored Ease: The agency protector spends more time

working in armor than almost any other kind of agent. He

spends a great deal of his training learning to minimize the

disadvantages of his armor. The agency protector adds the

listed modiﬁer to the armor penalty of any suit of armor he

is wearing. The minimum armor penalty is zero (this can

never be a bonus).

Agency Training: At 2 nd , 4 th , 6 th , 8 th and 10 th levels the

agency protector may choose an ability from the agency

training list (see below for a list of agency training talents).

Bonus Feats: At 3 rd , 6 th and 9 th levels the agency protector

gains a bonus feat from the following list: Alertness, Armor

Proﬁciency (heavy, light, medium, powered), Combat

Martial Arts, Combat Reﬂexes, Cover Fire, Point Blank

Shot, Precise Shot, Surface Vehicle Operation, Teamwork

and Weapon Focus. The agent must meet the prerequisite for

any selected.

Bulwark: Just as the agency protector learns to minimize

the disadvantages of armor, he also learns to maximize

its defensive potential. At 7 th level, any time an agency

protector suffers damage from an attack that normally grants

a Reﬂex save (such as many area effect attacks), the agency

protector may make a Fortitude save instead.

At 9 th level if the agency protector succeeds at his

Fortitude saving throw he suffers no damage.

The agency protector only gains the beneﬁts of the

Bulwark ability when wearing armor.

Class Information

The following information pertains to the analysis agent

advanced class.

Hit Die: 1d6

Action Points: 6+ one-half character level, rounded

down, every time the character gains a new level in this

class.

Class Skills: The analysis agent’s class skills (and the

ability for each skill) are: Climb (Str), Computer Use (Int),

Concentration (Con), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy

(Cha), Drive (Dex), Investigate (Int), Knowledge (all) (Int),

Navigate (Int), Research (Int), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str)

Skill points at each level: 9 + Int. modiﬁer

Class Features

All of the following are features of the analysis agent

advanced class.

Area Knowledge: Analysis agents spend a great deal of

time learning the language, culture and current events of

countries all around the world. Their ability to advise agents

visiting an area they have studied are greatly enhanced.

Each time an analysis agent gains this ability, he picks

one country. When making skill checks in or regarding

that country, the analysis agent gains a bonus equal to his

Reputation modiﬁer. For example, an analysis agent with

a +2 Reputation bonus would gain a +2 bonus on any skill

check when asked to provide information about one of his

areas of expertise. If the analysis agent actually went to that

country, he would gain that bonus on all skill checks due to

his familiarity with his surroundings.

This ability also allows the analysis agent to use

Knowledge (current events) in place of an Intelligence

Analysis Agent

Analysis agents are area experts, linguists and tactical

advisors to agencies. They provide long term planning

and serve as advisors to combat forces, acting as a force

multiplier, allowing a small number of agents to do the work

of many.
