[QUOTE="figmike, post: 3625989, member: 52877"] First off, you’ve made a good solid character. You’ve got one more point to spend. Reason: Dex cost 4, Ess cost 7, Melee +2 (caste skill cost 2) Linguistics +1 (cost 2) Now that’s 15 points, but since Ling is not over 3, you could have just as easily brought it up to rank 2 without bonus points, then bumped up Ride (a favored skill) with a bonus point leaving you with 1 more point. You have to give each of your 5 favored skills at least one point. You do not have to give any of your Caste skills any ranks. So if you don’t want to have ranks in Martial Arts, Thrown, War, or whatever you don’t have to. I say this because I noticed you had 1 point in all ten of your caste and favored skills, just making sure you did that because you wanted to, not because you thought you had to. Nothing wrong with giving yourself a little knowledge of all those things. Try to think about your history and backgrounds. Kade was a leader of a group of mercs, so he had Followers and Allies. He also had Bureaucracy, Socialize, and other skills because that’s how he would had kept his men in line and made sure they got paid. If you’re a lone warrior, maybe you don’t need that. Also in terms of War, if you think of this guy as a soldier, then yes he should have fair ranks inWar. If you want him to be a leader of men, then yes go for it. If you think of him as a sword for hire, or a loner, will this skill help you? Looking at your Charms, Battle Fury has a Prereq of Any Resistance Excel. You need to let me know what version of Ox Body you got. Then get rid of the extra health levels. You might want to think about spreading the love a bit. You’ve taken some great melee charms, but if you ever wanted to take any other charms you’d have to start all the way from the beginning with excellencies and such. Ess 3 is a good thing. It cost a lot less at character creation and gives you more ability to use charms. Also high virtues are also helpful. I’d think about bumping my Valor up with bonus points. Keep in mind that you can you a Willpower point to add your Valor in dice to any attack roll. But this is totally up to you. [/QUOTE]
