Agent Creation

Thank you

Nah, don't worry about PMing me your rolls or moving credit rating to your skills section as long as it's coming out of your point pool. Assuming your credit rating selected is "Living Standard or Money 60"?

Regarding a useful skill level, that's difficult to say. The points given to a skill represent a percent likelihood of success under normal circumstances, so a score of 25 would indicate a 25% chance of success, again, assuming normal circumstances. If success in 1 out of 4 times is useful is up to you, really. Though, in the case of languages, it's typically not an all or nothing type of thing. For example, if you encounter a text in, say, Mandarin, and you have a 40 skill in Mandarin, I may determine:

1) there are 3 key points to comprehend
2) 2 of the 3 points are easy and (house rule) will add 50% to your chances (i.e. 40%*[1+50%]=60% chance), and
3) 1 of the points is hard and (standard rule) will subtract 50% from your skills (i.e. 40%*50%=20% chance)

What this means is that the chances you understand at least a part of the document is 87% (don't ask me to show my work on this :))

The other thing to consider is that your age determines your education level. (As an aside, I can't seem to find your age on your character sheet anywhere; this will need to be included or let me know if I'm missing it somewhere.) nevermind, I see it in the comments. So, if you really want to know several languages, consider making your character older and making the necessary adjustments to stats.

Finally, yeah, go ahead and add the base to your allocated points; no idea why the character sheet doesn't do this automatically.

Languages get harder with age not easier but the system is what the system is, I suppose if I lived in an envirpnment where I didn’t work with people in their late teens and early 20’s that can speak 5 languages fluently I’d be less concerned. It’s such a point sink for something that’s little more than flavour. I shall ignore the languages and rebalance my skills a little this weekend. I’m probably going to drop a couple and boost a couple but I have a concert to go to tonight so it’ll have to wait.

Nevermind, done... Do you want me to buy furniture and clothes or just a general money dump to indicate how things are?

Hey Squadfather. What’s your character’s name? He or she is just lists as "Doctor of Medicine."

Morgan O'Neil

A hard drinkin’ Irish country doctor. If you click "Characters" at the top, then "All Characters" you can use the gear to edit your name.

My character is Morgan O'Neil. Someone else has the doctor. My guy is the soldier.

Oh ya... Shark_Bone, mea culpa.

I’ll be adding background to my character tomorrow. I have big chunks written up either on my tablet or in my head. I forgot to save it before I headed out to the concert tonight so I could edit it before the show started.

It's all good.

My character's name is Kenneth Davis. I changed the character label so it shows that now in the Characters section. Thanks for pointing that out!

Is it okay I switched size for education and Dex for Intelligence? It makes more sense for the build.

Sure, if you want me to review before making it public, go ahead and PM me.

Sent, it’s pretty sizeable. i got on a roll and kept typing.

Sure, that's fine.

Still waiting on one a character from Carabas, and once done, we can get started.

Just a reminder to all, if you haven't yet, please make sure to include a background/personal info in your character sheet, and please select an avatar image, ideally someone that looks like they're from the 1920's :).

Submitted, but the backround and gear are still missing, I'll try to get around to it this evening.
