Thank you, Aeson. I appreciate your fairness, and would welcome you back the moment you have more free time. Keep usposted, and I hope the new job goes well. Good luck, and please don't screw around with my financial information. If you do, Aeson in my DnD game will suffer!Aeson in the Hivemind said:

Alright, we're down to Bubba, Ashley, Julian, and Hinda... Arthur is out for now, so we're a rather non-com group.
Then again, while Julian isn't a fightery type, Ashley can hold her own in a firefight (assuming she doesn't get hit...) she'll be happy to carry a powerful weapon to suppliment Bubba's combat abilities. With her Advanced Technology feat she'll easily be able to aquire a Zat for their first mission, so she'll be unleashing 3d6 damage + Zat Takedown every shot.
If we have time to prepare, we can take cover (Never ever ever forget to take cover, staff weapons do 6d6 damage and you do NOT want to eat hot plasma) and take the Aim and Brace actions. Don't forget things like Tracer ammunition giving a +2 gear bonus to hit with automatic weapons, and laser sights giving a +2 gear bonus to hit when within 50 feet. Pity gear bonuses don't stack.
Don't forget to requisition and use things like flashbangs and smoke grenades, to inflict statuses and control the battlefield, important things to do.
Even without a tank, we can be formidible if we fight smart- and I have a feeling that Bubba will be the dimmest bulb in our bunch, even with his 14.

You mean things like, "Stand behind a hard thing while the bad guys shoot at you, because bullets bounce off hard things, but go straight through soft things, like you."? Or maybe something like, "Shoot the bad guys when they don't know you're there, that way thet won't shoot back."?Jaeden said:
Or do you mean more like when to fight defensively and when to total defense and make a retreat?
Oh, point of order. I'd like to make sure we're all familiar with the changes to the combat system, like fluid initiative and no attacks of opportunity and the inability to leave a threatened area through any means other than the withdraw action a 5 foot step or the tumble skill.

Great! I like the character a lot. I think she's going to be a great addition. If you're up for it, I'd be happy to send her into the game to interview with Johnson next up.
There are a couple of points I was curious about on your character sheet-
My math tells me that you might have short-changed yourself on Education.. It might be a 9, not a 5.
I'm also not sure how you got your stats. They seem like they might be a little high.. We've using a 28 point pointbuy, and it looks like 30, but I might be missing something.
I'll ask Kemrain to see if she finds anything else.
