[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 6154528, member: 3987"] It might not but 10% is probably the minimum most players can start with unless you have a really large group. As I mentioned earlier it is up to the GM if the rolled Obligation actually has any real appearance in the actual session, or just plays on their minds giving the reduced Strain Threshold, which overly punishes the player responsible for the Obligatn that is rolled. So the GM isn't forced to give the player the spotlight because of some roll. Well if your group Obligation total is low then there it is more likely that you won't have a penalty at all, also if your obligation pool goes over 100 then it triggers every session also it plays on the PCs mind so much they can't spend any XP. So it isn't really advisable. Obligations can be selected based on back story or rolled for randomly. Character generation is a case of selecting a concept and background, this step has no mechanical effect, just helps guide your choices later on. Next determine a starting Obligation Select a Species. Select a Career. Select a Specialisations (first one free) Invest XP determine derived attributes determine motivations gear and aappearance select ship your species determine your base attributes and starting XP pool which you use to buy everything. You can get a tiny extra amount (about 10% of what you get from your species) of XP to spend by upping your obligation. career and specialisations give you some free skills, you can buy more with the pool of XP you start with. You can also improve attributes and get other talents with the XP. [/QUOTE]
