Primarily this is for rules clarifications.

Someone brought up that the sheets are slightly different on Skills compared to the Pregens. So I will edit this in the next few minutes.

OK, I fixed the skills to align with the pregen stats. I think the sheets were somehow from an earlier edition? Anyway, fixed other bits of your sheets too. I was careful not to overwrite your actual recorded stats, but 'edited around' as far as possible. Also forgot that Luck points needed to be on there, so added them as a tracker (like HP, magic points).

If I screwed up anyone's sheet let me know and I will just do yours manually to make up for the trouble. ;)

Alright, thanks for that. Now I can get back to filling it in.

BTW I added a skill called 'Streetwise' to all sheets. Everyone will begin with a low level, although if you want to move points from something else into this that would be fine, if it makes sense for your character.

Streetwise will represent a sense of wariness in urban environments, an ability/readiness to pick up contacts in NON-official authority positions, basically a sensibility 'street smarts' skill.

Well I don't really see Jennifer being all that streetwise.

As for Luck, we need to roll for that on the die roller?

Great question. I had assumed it was on your pregen sheets, and I now see I was WRONG about that, it is NOT on the sheets already. So yes: Please do roll 3d6, then you can multiply by five and that is your starting Luck.

No rush, but just a reminder you can 'introduce yourself' in the first real story thread, "Campaign 1.1: Bar Cordano. Lima, Peru.", once you are content with your sheet. The campaign book explicitly says that players can arrive one at a time (you are all individuals meeting for the first time, after all), so it's totally fine if people are 'staggered' into the story.
