I think I'll try some thing in a Scout.

I'm hoping to do the prior history sometime in the next couple of days.

 

[Shayuri]

I'll need some help with Prior History, since T20 Lite hasn't got the Navy class, and history seems wrapped up in class...

 

[Wilphe]

I'll probably go for a noble, albeit one with mercenary and rougish tendancies; but I'll see what the party looks like before committing

A frequent house rule in T20 is that the feat skill focus is worth +3, rather than +2. Is that something you would consider?

I thought I saw him post that... must have been someone else.

My house rule (which I saw someone else post essentially the same thing) is that every feat that enhances skills gives +3 for one skill, +2 if it affects 2, and an addition +1 if it applies in specific circumstances. So carousing would provide +4 to gather information in a social situation.

I also house rule level-0 skills (such as world skills); I think it's silly to track level 0 skills in T20 since the skill ranks are about 2 or 3 times as much as you typically saw in CT. When a world skill would give you level "0", I grant level 1. That way, you don't have to remember which skills grant which, and 0 levels in skill means what you intuitively think it would mean... no skill.

Both of these are fine with me.

Just assume he will keep re-enlisting until dead or something else catastrophic happens. Errah!

 

[Shayuri]

Let's see...a term is four years, but basic training is 2, right? She enlisted at 18...so she's now 24...and only level 2.

Lets try reupping and see how that works out for her.

The first term includes basic training, so she is 22, 26 at the end of this rather more interesting term:

2nd term Siege (Survived, No Commission, Promoted to E-2, MCUF(+2,000xp), 2000 Bonus XP, total term XP: 11,000) Re-Enlist Optional Total Accrued XP: 16,000
