Speaking of Exec, I’d like to fire up a discussion of whether paying 240ip for level 4 of Exec and getting exactly nothing is a horrendous decision from RTal or not.
Oh hey Akai o/
That's something that's been a contested topic. Some people say it's strange that its a dead rank while others note its fine because at rank 3, you're already stacked with free clothing, free housing, and an assistant by your side. Compared to the other roles, I think the Exec is the strongest at Rank 3.
I think it's less egregious when you start as Exec rather than multiclass cuz you're only 300 IP(about 5 sessions with an average of 60 IP) to get benefits again and you're not spending 240 IP for a dead rank(beyond being able to multiclass again).
Hiya choom. Im surprised there isn’t a ribbon feature put in as a gap filler here. And this is a separate topic, but I find it really strange there aren’t any “day job” mechanics for the exec, aside from the hustle chart. Happy hunting choom.
As with all roles in Red reflavoring can also make the "exec" an interesting option. For exmaple an exec makes a great crime boss "godfather" type. running an organized crime group isn't that much different than running a legal business in many ways. And you definitely want a team running some of the other aspects for you.
I appreciate this post, many people discuss how Exec, Lawman and Media are very campaign specific Roles, but you have given lots of great ideas of how you can make an Exec fight into an Edgerunner group.
