Part 1 OOC

Right, didn't see that will modify my post slightly

Haha, wooops.

Hey marithyme, when does EXP get dulled out in this game out of curiosity?

When you reach the end of a session, which you have. I've just not wanted to interrupt the fascinating argu...I mean, discussion. I'll post XP tonight. All of you can feel free to continue with your RP until it reaches a natural conclusion. If any of you wish to go shopping, we can either do it quickly in this thread, or RP it out in the Deliverance thread. You are welcome to spend earned XP when you earn it, just PM me or post your updates here.

The next session will begin with Thessa's return.

Great! Thanks for letting us talk this out. Hope no one minds, but I meant it when I said that I really enjoy just talking in-character. :P

I'm enjoying it, too! That's why I'm just staying quiet so often. :)

I'm enjoying every aspect of this game!

Any idea where our Pilot has run off to? Maskcot has apparently been inactive for 16 days. :(

If worse comes to worst, Jack has 3 Agility and 1 rank in Piloting (Space). Since Gunslinger is a Smuggler specialization I can branch out into Pilot eventually, too.

Haven't heard a peep. Will send a PM. If we don't hear back from Maskcot by next weekend, we can either recruit a new pilot, or have Jack take over that role.

Jack will be a fine stop gap, but I did like the idea of a dedicated pilot. They can just do so much more than a character with a few skill ranks. But I'm fine with whatever the group wants.

There is something to be said for not risking the great dynamic we have going too.

If Jack became the primary pilot, I'd buy up the Pilot specialization (or maybe Rigger), and focus on that. I agree, pilot talents are extreeeemely handy.

That works too!

Keep as is, or recruit somebody. Either way is fine for me.

As for EXP spending, as a group would you guys think I should go with a rank in ranged heavy or a rank in mechanics. I want to cover both eventually, but dont have enough for a full rank in each. What do you think will help us more for the next session? I will probably be grabbing a rank in gunnery as well. That way I help in space as a gunner in earnest.

Happy with either route if Maskcot is still not responding by next weekend.

I'd say it depends where you want to focus your character, Doc's rocking a 2g1y check for Mechanics at the moment so it's not like we're not covered on that front (I was thinking to take Doc in a direction of either Cyber or Droid tech spec's in future so I'll be working on my mechanics skill later on anyway) if you wanted to bring the pain a bit more :)

I've spent 10 xp on a second rank of Surgeon and I'm saving the other 5 for later :)

Fair enough, I'll focus on battle skills right now. 1st rank in gunnery, 2nd in Ranged heavy

Gave Bo Frenzied Attack talent for 5xp and gave her a point of Mechanics 10xp (1 pnt of non career skills). She might need the mechanics if she is breaking and entering solo at some point. I doubt she will ever buy more ranks in it. I don't see her getting gunnery or piloting anytime soon.

Savi will add a rank (from the 10 xp tier) of Plausible Deniability, and purchase s skill rank in Coercion.
