Much less powerful than the PC's, make numbers their only advantage.

Better gear, but a less powerful time machine.

Put them on the same footing.

Time cops are a horrible idea, and you should feel bad.

I blame the fact that I was updating at 1:00 in the morning. 

[Harry Baldman]

Bandits and brigands are around. Good to know. Not that Epaphroditos could possibly do anything about it, but still.

"I cannot really say that I can help you, especially not "do all the work myself". What sort of foolishness is that? A proper citizen should go out and kill his enemies with the rest of the army, I've always said. Still, tell me about these bandits. Are they filthy Thracians, perhaps? Who are they? Where did they come from?"

Ask. Get answers.

[monk12]

Find out whose roof I'm on! This could either be very good or very bad, and I can't roll low EVERY turn, right?

[Powder Miner]

April climbs down to the opposite street and tries to find out where she is!

Ryan was suddenly hit by a brilliant idea - he had a time machine, so maybe he should use it to travel in time far more impressivley than just to yesterday, and try to gain some benefit from bending the rules of Physics so badly. This had the added advantage of also getting him out of where he was probably going to cause some awful paradox and end up with some kind of recursive death loop or somesuch.

Jump to London, Late 1970's - ideally 1978.

Edit the following according to your own point in the timeline...

No doubt whoever (was about to/had already) enter(ed) the basement (would be/had been) confused by the presence of a phonebox or something else from 30 years ago appearing in the storeroom. Ryan himself had no memory of seeing anything bizzare in the storeroom yesterday, so its quite possible that whatever (will/had) already displace(d) was quite mundane.

How similar is the Time Cop character sheet to a normal character sheet?

You asked me to make a time cop, right?

[Nicholas1024]

The time cop sheet works like a regular sheet, except you put two of the time machine points into future tech (to find out where the time travelers are, etc.)

[GreatWyrmGold]

Are those free points, or "must spend" points?

[Spinal_Taper]

Look around for anything interesting. Trouble, attractive women and the like.

[Nicholas1024]

Tell you what, I'll let Bay12 take a vote for it. How big of a challenge do you want when it comes to NPC time cops hunting down the PC's? Shall we make it easy, or FUN?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Fun! They should usually only come when a PC has done something wrong, though, and any enemy time travellers summon them too. Oh, and the PCs likely have a (very) slight "home field" advantage from being then longer.

((I was aiming for Cleveland, Ohio, because that's where standard oil starts, not that it really matters that much. :/ )

Realizing that looking like a serial killer does not help with getting a gun, Jack quickly decided that some better apparel was in order.
Also, he came to the epiphany that going to shops is better than going door to door for buying stuff. "Honestly, I can't believe the stuff I do sometimes."

Go to a clothing store, buy clothes. Go to gun or hunting store, buy small concealable gun. Go to Standard Oil, invest. lock onto New York City, 1910 to collect riches.

Some time cops could be future versions of the PC's that didn't make it in.

That wouldn't work for David Stirling

....It would work for Grenyl, though!

Spoiler: (Here's my idea of what my original Time Cop would be:) (click to show/hide)

Name: Jason Copper
Time Period: Far future
Background:
Appearance:

Strength: 1
Dexterity: 3
Endurance: 3
Intelligence: 0
Willpower: 3
Luck: 5

Time Machine: Paralaxic Arc Reciprocating Device (Neuron Extractor, Revised)
An experimental device which operates on what may loosely be termed "mental time travel." It is a little pen-like cylindrical...thingy, which may be pressed against the user's forearm. When this is done and a button on the side is pressed, the user is transported to the body of someone in approximately the desired time period, with the Paralaxic Arc Reciprocating Device on his person somewhere. Another button returns the user's mind to the previous body at the time he pressed the button, while the device in the other time explodes. (For instance, Jason It's not terribly accurate, but TimeCop, Inc, hopes that proper development of the device would grant them great advantages--say, by letting them blend in more easily. Officer Copper is so unlucky as to be the guinea pig.
Precision: 0
Power: 1

(Yeah, it still needed work, but meh.)

So, Nicholas, final word on Time Cops?
