[Orikanyo]

I have come.

 

[Psychie]

Me too! Me too!

 

[Silanon]

Made it as well - I'll have a proper character sheet ready tomorrow, hopefully. Just for reference, I'm going with Strong Will, SERE and Combat Journalist - I'll take the pictures while you earn glorious victories.

 

[Orikanyo]

Sherwood think we can plop the character thread, lore and such thread and the future in character thread up on the first post here? Just so we have ease of access between all four threads.

 

[Sherwood]

Good idea. I'll do that now.

 

[Sherwood]

I've added a couple of house rules to the top of the Character thread for when you level up.

 

[Orikanyo]

Sounds good, hehe, can't wait to see the others in the squad.

 

[Sherwood]

AldarisLordOfLight how are things coming along for your character? I have an NPC idea to post, but I don't want to step on your toes if you just happen to choose the same MOS packages that I have in mind.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

I'm bouncing on the idea of taking the Communications Specialist package. But the other one, I'm thinking between the Guerrilla, SERE or the Scout...

Sherwood

 

[Sherwood]

Sounds good. I'll bring in an armorer and heavy weapons specialist to help round out the squad. He'll help to fix up your mecha in the field.

 

[Sherwood]

Does anyone wish to volunteer to be the squad leader of this mix? The alternatives are to either have my NPC in command or to pick on someone myself and say, "Tag! You're it!"

 

[Orikanyo]

Not fully certain, whom do you think would have the best load out for it?

 

[Sherwood]

Well, not quite sure what AldarisLordOfLight is going to produce, so I don't want to go out and give an opinion.

 

[Orikanyo]

Well if none lay claim I'll take it, but if we can come up with something more suited, thats fine by me.

Unless folks think the good doctor leading them is a good idea, he most certainly is a trust worthy and honest man.

 

[Psychie]

lol You and your Good Doctor. I find this to be quite humorous.

 

[Orikanyo]

lol You and your Good Doctor. I find this to be quite humorous.

Mmm yes quite humorous indeed, quite so. *Affixes monocle and twirls moustache*

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

Narrowed down now to a Communication Specialist-SERE or Communication Specialist-Scout. So debating on either going for the escapist comm dude or the "Hey, guess what's gonna kill us when we reach the target..." comms dude.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

I have a question that may make me sound like a noob but anyway skills in the different packages are all available to the character plus the 6(5/4 if one upgraded their HtH to a Martial Arts or a specialized HtH specifically) secondary skills right or did I misunderstand this a bit?

 

[Sherwood]

You are correct. You can get two skill packages, and the six secondary skills to finish rounding out your character.

I strongly suggest you get Boxing, as it gives you an extra attack per melee round, and that comes in very handy in a fight.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

I was contemplating on the skills for a long time. I thought up a scenario in my head about the CommSpec-Scout about the combat skills, like "Oh my, he's enemy food without something to augment his combat abilities. What kind of Recon is he if he's enemy food?!"

So yeah, I'm gonna go for the CommSpec-Scout/Recon with a specialized HtH combat form leaving me with 4 for the secondary skills.

 

[Sherwood]

Sounds good.

 

[Psychie]

Just curious, which stat package are you going with?

 

[Sherwood]

So, it would seem that the question of the team leader is up between Orikanyo and AldarisLordOfLight . I would suggest that if Aldaris is going with the Recon/Scout idea, he might not be the choice to go with squad leader, but that's just my own thought.

 

[Psychie]

Doesn't matter to me. I plan on having fun no matter who's in charge.
