From Pinterest.<\/p>\n<p>With this version of Batman, I decided to focus on his really high physical and mental stats. This version will be one of the most accomplished and well-rounded humans in any Strands game. I didn&#8217;t even try to write up every gadget he&#8217;s ever carried; his listed gear should cover most of what he uses most of the time, and if he needs some non-weapon gadget, he can spend a Fate Point and have it in his utility belt with <em>I Have Just The Thing<\/em>. Finally, his social skills might seem kind of low, but Batman isn&#8217;t really known for being friendly or a team player. Even as Bruce Wayne, he relies as much on looks and money as on glib charm.
