[QUOTE="Job, post: 2798740, member: 37196"] Watus, I've completed my review of Dr. Lambert's character sheet. I could find no errors in any of your statistics, but I do have a general comment about his skills. You've chosen to split Dr. Lambert's abilities between that of a physician and an explorer/hunter, and this maps well to your character's background, but in doing so you are of course moderating his overall abilities. It is also unusual for a physician to be an offensive in nature since they have generally dedicated their lives to healing, but this does fit within your background writeup. This is workable, and I see no reason to change it if you're happy with this balancing of abilities, but it does leave some gaps, particularly in the areas of his physician skills. As an example, if he is called upon to research a unique specimen, or to tap into his limited biological knowledge (compared to his medicine skill and athletic abilities), he would be at a disadvantage. He also is not very diplomatic or charismatic, thus his bedside manner leaves something to be desired. :eek: It suggests that he's a gruff doctor, very blunt in telling patients of their problems, leaving research to others more suited to indoor studies. As to his wealth, if I accept the average scores on die rolls, he would have $12,000 in savings and $6,000 in yearly income (when he's practicing, that is). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the tortured one).
