Synergy bonuses don't kick in until you get 8 ranks in anything, so no need to worry yet.Before ability score modifiers, Soldier 1/Agent 1 will give you:BAB +1 (+0 Agent, +1 Soldier)Fortitude +2 (+0 Agent, +2 Soldier)Reflex +2 (+2 Agent, +0 Soldier)Will +0 (+0 Agent, +0 Soldier)Defence Value +1 (+0 Agent, +1 Soldier). Add 10 and your Dex modifier for final DVHit points 6 (Agent) + 3 (Soldier) + Con bonus (only added once).Starting credits 1800 (shopping lists are somewhere up-topic <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)EDIT: See Post 104 onwards.

You get Influence bonuses for different power groups, eg. Earthforce, Earth Political, League Social, Local Criminal, Specific Megacorporations etc.. You roll 3d6 + influence against a DC when you try to exert pressure on that group to do you a favour. You can also use it as a bonus to finesse or intimidate people, or get your contacts to exert pressure on another, related group. DCs range from 10 for information, 15 for access to weapons or tech, through to 40 for declaring war or requisitioning a fleet.Roll 1d6 twice for starting influence in two different influences, one of which must be in your native culture (so Earthforce, Earthgov, Earth Social, ISN, IPX, perhaps even a Mars group or similar), the other can be in anything.From Soldier, You gain +2 influence in Earthforce, and +1 in any other Influence.You also gain a further +1 Influence in the ISA for joining this mission.There are too many Influences to list here, but the general breakdown is by race, with Social, Economic, Military or Government within each.</blockquote>
