[QUOTE="Game Control, post: 182101, member: 4033"] Yes, some tip: Luddite could increase his Hide, Move silently and search skills. The Snoop is immensely useful in a B&E scenario; He's even better at neutralizing electronic security device than the Fixer and he's able to thoroughly search the place in half the time. The snoop normally can't do the B&E on his own. No open lock and no ''cat burglar'' skills prevent him from that. But he can rock at following the fixer in and supporting him. But of course he only ''rocks'' if he doesn't make as much noise as a rock band when going in. Beside, security computers are almost never hooked on the net. In a really complex MI style operation against a secure building, you'll have no choice but to get inside in order to hack something. ---------------------- Kim should pick up the disguise skill if he wants to become a high level Faceman. The 3rd level class ability ''quick change'' is totally wasted without it, and the 6th level class ability ''Fake-it'' isn't as useful. Of course, perhaps Kim doesn't intend to be more than level 1 or 2 as a Faceman. Also, Kim is in position to get tons of synergy bonus. Look them up. ------------------------------- Ronin made a good move by maxing his intimidate skill. He should keep doing it; eventually he'll probably be the best at it since not many PC have Intimidate as a class skill (Wlm and Sold). It'll take a whileto catch up wuth Kim, though. For the same reason, I recommend upping the climb skill. Only the fixer also has climb as a class skill and the soldier has the advantage of double AD on srenght check. If a plan requires one team member to make a seemingly impossible climb, the soldier is the only class that stand a chance to pull it off. Also, the team needs a good scondary driver. The soldier doesn't have a lot of skill points, but he doesn't have a lot of class skill either so Ronin could be it. And guess which class skill is unique to the soldier? USE ROPE! Yeah, baby. Huh, I'm not suggesting to invest heavily in it. I'm just pointing it out. -------------------------------------- Kareem you know you are one of the few class with disguise as a class skill? Useful. Frankly, Kareem has a solid skill selection given his role. Escape artist would be cool but you need to invest heavily to make it worth it. And he hasn't put ranks in handle animal! Shame on you! ;) ---------------------------------------- Fox; do you listen when I'm talking to you :D (how cheesy can I get?) Your listen skill is abysmal for a thief. The landlord could sneak up on you as you are searching his room. But aside from that you seem to have all the right skills in all the right place for the job so everything's fine. --------------------------------- Cross train! Each important skill should have at least two PCs with a lot of ranks in it. [/QUOTE]
