Sorry to hear that Nezzaraj, thanks for sharing Y'breq with us.

Question- can I spend 4xp to pick another ‘trick’ from the Jack list of tier 1 abilities?

Not trying to step on GM's toes, but it looks like yes, per the rules you can. Page 128 in "Discovery" has a section on character advancement. There are 4 steps to complete before moving on to Tier II, all of which cost 4xp:

- Adding 4 points total do divide between your stat pools
- Increasing an Edge by 1
- Increasing your Effort by 1
- Puchasing a stat (or, like Emmett did, buy your way out of inability into a regular ability (still not trained yet).

At the bottom, there's a section called "Other Options":

"Players can also spend 4 XP to purchase other special options. Selecting any of these options counts as purchasing one of the four steps necessary to advance to the next tier."

One of the options in that list is this:

"If you’re a Jack, select a new trick of the trade. The trick must be from your tier or a lower tier."

That's right. Thanks for looking that up, Skeptical_Stun

All right, cool - thanks to you both!!

Thanks for your patience with me, it's been an exhausting week or so. I should be back to normal until next week when company arrives. I'll still be able to post at that point, though.

I think we're largely stuck in our current spot. I can narrate the gap to the next stage if you want, and give you all some narrative space to fill in what happened from nowish to thenish.

Yes, please.

Sounds good.

Oh i just saw this latest post, so yeah I vote to move forward

I will do so tomorrow. Get us onto the Secret Railroad

Sounds fine. I think we were just BSing/RPing around in any case. But let's back up a sec. What's this about a Secret Railroad?

I put in a name change, I'm Ezz now!

It's a name I've used for twenty years, and I figure I'm here to stay!
