I could use a little input from the rest of you about my Arkus' second Precept (Ability) choice.I am almost definitely taking Understanding as my first. It is boring, but will come up all the time. It is what an Arkus does.
I am thinking about Babel --which lets me understand languages. But I worry that everyone else might get left out in the cold if we spend a lot of time dealing with peoples we can not otherwise understand. Without this we are all in the same boat, and can muddle through, taking it means we will probably find ourselves in more situations that require languages. I will only take this if everyone else is actually interested in playing with language barriers.
Given my history, I would like to have a Connection with the Empire. Do we like that idea? It affords me access to knowledge about what they are up to, but also helps us in all our dealings with them. It does mean we are more likely to end up dealing with them. Fictionally, this one is slightly harder to add later, but I would have this anyway, just without the mechanics. :)
As for the understanding ability, it makes sense to have it. It's almost like notice in Savage Worlds which you increase as high as you can because you'll use it a lot.
I like your connection with the empire idea.
