Should probably spend as soon as we can if this is gonna be a key player for us.

Is 20 going to be enough?  The GM just told me that we could get a maximum roll of 3 with 50 renown, so it seems like 20 might be a bit low.

How high of a roll do you think we need?  Assuming X is your desired adjusted roll, R is the actual roll and N is the amount of renown to spend, then the formula for the amount of renown to spend is:

N=(100*X)/R

Plug the numbers in and see what you get (for maximum possible rolls set R to the largest possible actual roll; btw, did the GM ever say what kind(s7) of di(e/ce) they were using?).

Not explicitly, but I got the impression it's a d6.  With 20 renown, we'd need to roll a 15 for an end result of 3, something impossible.  The only possible result for 20 renown is an end result of 1, so it seems like a waste. 

With 50 renown we'd get at maximum a 3.  75 renown would give us a chance at a 4.

According to my calculations (and assuming a single d6 is being used), the following chart shows the minimum amount of renown that needs to be spent for each possible desired outcome:

Outcome    Renown
————-    ————
           1          17*
           2          34
           3          50
           4          67
           5          84
           6        100

* Or 0 if anything lower than a 1 is automatically converted to a 1.

Recruit Villain

Roll: 5=5 * 0.67 (67 renown spent) = 3.35, rounds up to 4

Utilizing a good deal of reputation, along with influence in less...public circles, two people would be found in the efforts of getting a villain of some sort to actually be able to aid us. The first of which is Nang Sung-Ryung, or Gumiho. She is a Hóng gůn, though her skills are somewhat...wasted in her current position. She uniquely is skilled in martial arts along with manipulation, and as their nickname name suggests, is also quite good at taking the hearts of men...That and a supposed rumor about her favorite dishes always containing a liver or heart as an ingredient that is likely overblown. Other than this, another option is a Vinod Ashtekar, who is a...unique option. They are a drag racer of sorts, and occasionally does some other illegal activities on the side. From India, he has actually caused some problems for some of our smaller operations, but it might be better to make him an asset now than an enemy to deal with later.


Spoiler: Vinod Ashtekar (click to show/hide)

Please vote on who you wish to acquire. Gaining Gumiho will cost favors, while gaining Vinod will cost funding. Both will be available for the next turn if chosen.

Looking in the spoiler for ”Gumiho”, is it “Gumiho” (as it says outside the spoiler) or “Kumiho” (as it says inside the spoiler)?

Also, I’m currently not sold on either of the candidates.  Both seem fine to me, although if someone could make a case for one or the other I’d probably change my mind.

I say Vinod, on account of literally being an escape driver when I was hoping for superheists. He's also got the better intelligence, so if we want to be working on brainy good projects in the meantime he's also the better option.

Ill go for Vinod as well, though it will be hard to hitch the Sothweg Peace Tower to a car and drive away with it.

We're speed racer villains now. This is non-negotiable.
