I think that they make awesome gunslingers

I'm thinking his 10-15 foot tail won't fit in Power Armor, much less his normal height. He is Power Armor.

Body Fixer, or City Rat of course

Actually I would like to see a GrackleTooth Cyberknight. That would rock. I don't remember if they're allowed to have psionics or not, but even still, a Grackletooth that follows the code, but has none of the powers (I mean they have enough strength to be a nightmare with vibro weapons, and their natural MDC hide is a much better option than cyber-armor)...that would be cool.

He'd have a grip of skills too.

Or if you want to take the abilities of an OCC, even though he can't utilize all the benefits...Might I suggest a Robot Slammer...without the robot or PA. Say his family and friends were wiped out by high-tech bandits, or the CS in robots and power armor, so he's got an ongoing grudge against anyone that uses that type of tech to rule over others. Give him a modified jetpack (like the flight system on a SAMAS), so he's got that crazy ground-level and aerial mobility without having to buy a custom built power armor to accomodate his huge tail. He'd have all the bonuses for fighting against robots and power armor, but he'd do it all on a much more personal level.

If you did that, I would have an operator rig up the Wild Weasel (sp?) SAMAS flight system to a modified harness and exoskeleton, so he's got wicked lateral movement abilities, and give him a good tough larger-sized suit of armor and a heavy rail gun, then let him go to town. Perhaps a missile rifle as well. That would indeed be cool.

Or a saloon bum...

Sounds like the GM had a grudge against your character. I mean the operator is hardly a combat OCC, so to put him into a fierce fighting situation against two (obviously powerful) mages just shows the GM's bias against a natural MDC race. Or did you spit some fightn' words at 'em?

Grackle tooths are just plain cool, I think they're my favorite D-bee race just for their personalitys, never mind the impressive abilitys.

For OCCs Id suggest either the Special forces occ from mercenaries, or the sheriff from new west. the former for the number of useful skills and hard core reputation, the latter because a grackle tooth with a john wayne drawl and a tin star is a natural fit.

I would say any adventurer or man at arms OCC (but not juicers). Bandit or head hunter would be cool.

My ex-Wife had a Grackle Tooth Operator named Gertrude (Gertie) and she was an awesome character. I still use it as an NPC to this day.

She had an NG-R50 Mini-Rail Gun as a sidearm because she was strong enough to use it one handed. Also was strong enough to lift/move a lot of the things that she repaired with no help needed.

She was also a skilled negotiator and even was able to negotiate a contract with Naruni Enterprises to be a Franchise Sales Rep for them (she had to kick back 25% of sale and 10% of her repair business income) and it was pretty cool.

I don't think a Grackle Tooth can be a Cyber-Knight or mage... unless, he's a Fallen Cosmo-Knight.
However, I did play a Grackle Tooth Sherrif named Clynt Wayne.

Clynt's town had an extremely low crime-rate, and people "just passin' through" meant it.

"Feet didn't even touch the ground passing through town."

I always felt that Grackle Tooth needed MORE M.D.C., almost as much as a Brodkill or such.
