It's incredible what you can manage with vehicle expert, skill emphasis and a blue collar occupation when you've already got all the skills you need for your character, oh and the 18 dex helps too!)Dog Moreau Hunter.  This character is dedicated tough but a lack of intelligence has cost him on the skills front.  Mind you, he is a brick of a character - the party's combat guy.Human Gentleman Adventurer.  The gentleman adventurer is a mix between charismatic and tough. They turn out to be quite a jack-of-all trades.So I've got two levels of touch and two levels of dedicated - and without a medic in sight!let me know what you think...Ben</blockquote>
