[QUOTE="FraserRonald, post: 3419738, member: 7892"] Here's a few quick thoughts on character builds. This is very quick and dirty and I'd be happy to help elaborate. You mentioned 6th or 7th level, so what I thought was: 1. ex con, knife fighter, stealth, scout type. I would go with Fast Hero 3/Infiltrator 3(4) with specialization in knives 2. sniper/ hit man assassin Definitely Fast Hero 3/Gunslinger 3(4) - though Gunslinger seems to focus on handguns, only close combat shot is precludes longarms. If you are using the free web enhancement from WotC, there is a Sniper class in there 3. demolitions expert I would actually go Fast Hero 4/ Soldier 2(3) with the Military occupation as it allows Demolitions as a class skill. Smart hero has very little combat focus, while this build allows for a certain amount of specialization in demolitions but also combat ability. 4. commander type/medic/communications officer This is a tricky one. What are you using as the skill for communications? Usually its computer use. In which case, the Military occupation won't help you. That's okay, because Dedicated does have Knowledge (Tactics) as a class skill. But you want an occupation with Computer Use as a class skill. I would go with Technician (perhaps using that to indicate his military training in communications) and maybe take Repair and Craft (electronic) as the other 2 class skills. With this, I would go with: Dedicated 4/ Soldier 2(3) There's no reason the commander (let's say he's an officer, an LT or Capt) couldn't be a Field Medic, however in the Canadian Military, an officer who is a medic is a doctor (an MD). Again, not really a problem, but if he is an NCO and a medic, it would be unlikely he would command. Perhaps he just has the best medical training. If he is a real medic, you could go Dedicated 3/ Field Medic 3(4) Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
