T20 Traveller - On the Edge (looking for 4-6 players)

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

Thank you all!! I'll definitely look at that pdf too...

You guys rock.

As for my pilot...

I was gonna muster her after 2 terms, but I think she got jazzed by her medal and went back in... One more term! Then she musters.

Or...hmm. Ace Pilot. PrC...would she qualify for that at level 6...

She could potentially qualify for Ace Pilot, though I prefer to keep PrCs for active play, not past history

Actually...before doing the last term...

[sblock=GM Only Please]In the original Traveller, odds of psionics was inversely proportional to age. I don't wanna get her too old if we're going to try that. What's involved? Is it a feat? A class that must be taken?[/sblock]

 

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

[sblock=Shayuri]As one of your first feats, when you get to where you are taking feats, make one of them Psi-training. If you take it as one of your initial feats, age won't be a problem, since you were assumed to be trained at a young age.[/sblock]

So, it's looking like this:

Security: Tailspinner - Aslan Marine
Pilot: Shayuri - Human Navy
???: Brother Allard - Human Scout
Captain: Wilphe - Noble?
Supercargo: Psion - Merchant (and possibly Rogue or Traveller)

Which would leave engineering for me. If so, I'll probably take levels in both Scout and Professional.

I'll just need the mustering out benefits. I'll take three rolls in cash, and hope for some plusses to edu from the materials list. Or a ship. That would work too.

 

[Shayuri]

Looks good...she takes her medals and joins the real world again.

Hee...this is the oldest character I've ever played online, and she's still the baby of the crew at this point. Ahh, good old Traveller.

Just one Cash roll, and two material. I think she tends to burn through money almost as fast as she makes it.

3 rolls cash(max) 110,000cr

+4 Edu

That's for the 7 scout terms. Any additional terms as a professional will add more, of course.

Just to clarify: I didn't mean to suggest that I was looking for any terms of service in Professional, just that I was planning on using some of the xp earned in terms as a Scout on levels in the class Professional.

Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding the system, that should work fine.

 

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

Try this one:
Merchant. If I get booted before 3 terms, go Rogue or Traveller. 4 or 5 terms total.

Unless you were needing someone to get a ship, in which case I can try to stick with merchant or traveller longer.

*My house rule is that when a character fails to "survive" a term, a d4 is rolled, and the character is awarded 1,000xp x the number rolled. Basically it is to see at what point in the term the incident occurred.

From what it looks like to me, you could do that, but we'd need to resolve whatever terms you chose to take as a professional on the professional prior history charts, not the scout ones. Once active play began, then you could multi-class more normally.
