As long as you're not trying to replicate Quentin Tarantino films then AC we should be off to a good start ;)

^ What he said.

Edot: Unless you're using Inglorious Bastards as the reference point. They actually succeeded in that movie. Plus it's the only Tarantino flick I actually like.

Yes. Whether trying to distract or hold the thing while others complete their missions, provide a chance for escape, or just hurt it enough to show it has some weakness, it can be.

Of course, there's a difference between that desperate fight and "rocks fall, roll a new one". It's closer to "1d4 investigators per round".

You missed my second message in that conversation.

Captain Kirk doesn't believe in no win situations....

Edit: So with the newly defined custom regiment I'll be going for a Custom Regiment Guardsman as my main guy and a Cadian Guardsman as back up.

Edit 2: Have you guys thought about advanced specialties yet? Because from the way I understand it we are only 900xp away from being able to decide.

So we've got a medic and a guardsman with their backups being both guardsman.

Anyone else?

I'll be home from work in about 4 hours to begin answering questions & PM's.

In the meantime let me ask you to hold off making final plans on your (up to two) implant choices for Cyber Warrior background, as I haven't finished the list of ones that will be available to you at character creation. Thanks!

I decided on Operator, earlier, for my first character.

Mmm...unless AC updated our options we only have:



Thematically you could bend any one of them using xp into doing operator things but don't think we can pick it for out core aptitudes/skills/feats/etc even without a vehicle to operate.  I'm just a grunt though so I could be wrong. ;)

Think I'll be rolling up 2 Mordians. I'll have the basics done in a few hours.

Seems you're right. I thought Sergeant had been replaced, not duplicated.

For those that are on.  Should I get Int +15 for 500, or bump Medicae to +20 and Commerce to +10 for 500 total?  So +10 to my 2 main skills, or +5 to them, plus +5 to a bunch of others (tech use, lores, etc).

I'd bump Medicae and Commerce first, then the Int bump is icing on the cake afterwords.

That's where I was leaning.  Thanks for giving me another vote of confidence.

It was actually 3 times as hard to make 2 characters than to make 1.

Right!?

All the options...

I'm here watching the game, refreshing the browser every few minutes.  Bounce ideas off me if you need.

Just trying to get the right dynamic in my own head for my two...both for banter and for me wanting to play them as more than just a voice since they are my backup character.  Know what I mean?

For me, despite the 'overwhelming options' available, is the potential for overlap in the skillsets of the players. Because, you know...mortality and all that.

Yeah, I feel you.  I'll let dynamic for my tandem sort itself out in game.

Not to put to fine a point on it, cause others likely have noted it as well.  For those of you creating one of your peeps from the 31st Zakurian don't forget that the two cyber-enhancements are considered standard kit.  You can increase their craftsmanship for 5 points to make them good, or 10 to make them best.  Just a thought for those not knowing where to toss leftover kit points and all you know...

Interesting thought to pump them up.  If someone is making a scout type (high perception/awareness), the auspex at best craft would be a solid buy.  Enhanced Senses also are pretty efficient, as 5 regiment points gets you over 8 regiment points worth of effective gear.

Don't need best Auspex since Good is top level of notable advances, but yeah that is some serious scout potential.

Hence the title "Siege Breakers". ;)

For clarification, the additional 1000xp is on top of the 600xp to start with or is it including the 600?
