Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 9000979" data-attributes="member: 907">Most of these examples would be a matter of switching one Focus out for another, which you can do with a Normal milestone (any adventure where you play a reasonably big part), or potentially moving points either within Disciplines or (more rarely) Attributes. The idea in STA is that Starfleet Academy turns out personnel that are already near their maximum potential, and that if you want to improve in one area you will need to fall behind in another.We do have one example where we see a character at two different stages due to Modiphius providing stats for the main cast of the shows, which means we both have Lieutenant Worf, Chief of Security, from TNG, and Lieutenant Commander Worf, Strategic Operations Officer, from DS9. The differences are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TNG Worf has Command 3 and Conn 4, while DS9 Worf has Command 4 and Conn 3. Worf's been spending more time on leadership skills and less on piloting and navigation.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">TNG Worf has four values, while DS9 Worf has five – you'd think Worf spent one of his arc milestones on adding one, but as we'll see later that's not the case. Both versions have "Proud and Honorable Klingon Warrior" and "Always the Outsider". DS9 Worf has changed "A Warrior's Rage" to "Jadzia Is My Second Heart" indicating that his passions now primarily concern his wife, and "Legacy of the House of Mogh" to "Glory only comes through Victory" indicating that he now believes one cannot rely on past glories but instead must achieve new victories in order to win glory. Finally, he has added "Martok, like Warriors from the Ancient Sagas" via a mechanic we'll see soon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Both versions have six Focuses. Combat Tactics, Hand Phasers, Mok'Bara, and Shipboard Tactical Systems are in common. In DS9, Klingon Culture and Infiltration has been changed to Klingon-Federation Politics and Strategic Operations.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Both versions have four Talents. They have Brak'Tul (basically Klingon resilience) and Quick to Action in common. TNG Worf has Constantly Watching (harder to surprise) and Dauntless (harder to intimidate), while DS9 Worf has Personal Effects: mek'leth (letting him bring a blade in addition to regular equipment without adding Threat) and R'uustal showing that he has been through a ritual confirming him as a member of the house of Martok, and that the two are considered blood brothers (giving him the additional Value above as well as bonuses when assisting one another).</li> </ul>I think both versions are designed to have stats matching a starting character, but I haven't compared them to those. There is one other character that moved from one show to the other, but unfortunately Chief O'Brien wasn't important enough in TNG to warrant inclusion.</blockquote>
