Mark, the Soldier, seems designed to patrol the unstable locations. Immunity to delay doesn't really come up while streetsweeping, and he doesn't have the will/sanity for it. But a high Fight and Sneak score serves him well in the Woods, the Graveyard, and IIRC the Cave? A lot of encounters in the red zones delay you, and if he's lucky enough to have a gate open on him, he gets back in half the time.
Too bad he's not immune to devouring as well, in case that devouring gate shows up. =P

Well sheesh, Debbie-Downer! XD
That is a good point though. I have Lurker, but only used it once, so I forgot about the Devouring gates. Still, if you're mindful and just keep him around the Unstable spots by camping in a Stable or Sealed (unless using Gate Bursts) then he is still a viable gate-watcher.
@ eiterorm: ..and that is why I studied History and International Relations ~ God bless you!
@ Tibs: Loved the website in a really geeky kind of way
@OrionAnderson ~ great use of the word "ameliorate" ~ just don't see that one enough…
Without Signature
Now I'm trying to imagine which combination of investigators would lead to the most out-of-character optimal rearrangement of roles and equipment. I'm thinking Mark the Gate-Diver, Flamethrower-wielding Dexter (although I guess he did fight in WWI), and Trish the Sorceress.
To add to the job-swapping, Hank the Gate diver and Harvey Walters the monster hunter! Give that crazy old codger a .45, a gladius and a Voice of Ra and watch the icor fly!

Well, I'm studying for a master's degree in engineering, so I kind of have to know these things. ;-]

Mark + Sister Mary. Nun with a flamethrower on turn one.

Sounds like a cheap anime premise! XD Effective, though, especially with her Blessing! XD Get that gal Annointed too and she'd be a curse-breaking, holy-fire spewing machine!
Or Wilson + Wendy. Little girl with motorcycle, whiskey and a shotgun.
Sounds like something Quentin Tarantino could have made.
Plans are what people make instead of thinking

A minor with a motorcycle, whiskey and shotgun. And she can't get arrested for it while she has an elder sign. =P

"Bless the child" indeed.
For Wendy, I can only quote Aliens:
"Seventeen DAYS? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen HOURS! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before! And they're gonna come in here AND THEY'RE GONNA GET US!
"HUDSON! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training! Right?"
[Newt salutes]
"Well, why don't you put her in charge?!"
For Sister Mary, there may be a lot of new players here who never got to read my first Session ditty. Let's take the way-back machine to 2006, when I had just a few dozen games under my belt:

I've always thought that the best way to deal with many AOs is to dust off and nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Of course it won't work on Azathoth as he does it first.

Didn't they say "if we nuke Cthulhu, he'll come back. Radioactive"? [quoting the back cover of Cthulhu Now, I think]

Actually had a game where Wendy wound up with the motorcycle, whiskey and the Sword of Glory, she was badass in that game. :)
