[QUOTE="Nagol, post: 6308827, member: 23935"] It strongly depends on the campaign I'm running. I'd say it is typical that out of a group of 6 (about average for my table over the years though it is smaller right now) I'd get one strong non-combat focus character per campaign on average. Some campaigns will have multiple; other campaigns -- particularly ones with an announced slant towards combat action I'll get none. Even in CHAMPIONS, I've had players bring in characters that really had little to no combat capability. Right now, I'm running a small group in an X-Files style modern day campaign. It started with two very heavy combat focused characters and one whose combat is secondary among the PCs plus a non-combat NPC specialist of their choosing. It since changed into a single combat focused, one secondary combatant, and one not quite incompetent at combat plus one non-combat specialist of their choosing. [/QUOTE]
