[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 6963662, member: 467"] Looking at both the NEW and OLD careers it feels like the Exploration pillar could use some support. What I mean is that even the NEW scout is combat focused along with the OLD Ranger. One of the things I love about the post apocalyptic genre is that as awesome as Raiders and insane death machines are, exploration is usually a really strong element. D&D style fantasy likes exploration too, but usually as a means to a pretty straight forward end: treasure. Ancient treasures certainly play a role in PA too, but it is more than that: in fantasy, the Lost Age is usually gone for good and the treasures plundered from its ruins are nothing more than wealth or power. But in PA, there is the suggestion of a promise that the golden age can be restored and the treasures in the ruins aren't just wealth but seed corn (sometimes literally). Sci-find like NEW often relegates exploration to some sensor sweeps (with a focus on politics or technomystery rather than exploration; I am not meaning to disparage, just differentiate). I'm any case, I guess my point is that I think it will be fun to keep PA careers at least inclined toward exploration in order to inform a consistent theme. [/QUOTE]
