Actually, Morse, you beat Valentine's strength by one. You got a boost during Invictus. Though you may not want to enter any arm wrestling competitions. ;D

On a completely unrelated note, can other people read Rednus' character sheet(s)? Most of it is visible, but the skill level section looks blank in both sheets.

Tangentially, is Rednus allowed to make alterations to his character sheets before starting up the campaign? I only mention this because that appears to be what Rednus thinks, although that might not be the case (I find people frequently misinterpret the context of informal written media).

I allowed him to switch out espionage for infiltration. I was previously able to see the scores he put there, but now no one can by the looks of it.

yeah, they are visible, I just re-downloaded sheet and I can see them.

Quinn, as you are the new boss, of course it's up to you whether or not I can change a skill, but as this is obviously becoming more and more of an issue, I'll leave it as is. (blank, it seems)

(also 'tangentially', over the last 15 years of RPing, I've found that players ARE generally free to alter skills PRIOR to them entering a game based on what the GM deems suitable or neccessary, otherwise there would be an abundance of mages in heavy armour and barbarians with the lockpick skill, and if they dont, duncan, you must have had some terrible GM's in the past)

(I find that people frequently misinterpret the context of informal role playing games)

just sayin'

Well, in the many many games I've played (both online and tabletop), the GM's word has been law and the final arbitrator. Modifying a sheet before the game I see no trouble with so long as it's taken up with me first so I can balance the campaign according to the new choices.

From what I saw was just a glitch in the sheet itself.

Then I request the ability to remove my skills in espionage AND infiltration. I put them in those places YEARS ago, I don't know why. I think I thought I was able to move them or something, I don't know.

What I do know, is I never see a use to em, have never used em, or mentioned my ability to use them. Wouldn't be much of a loss to get rid of them as they are, and I might be able to put them into somethin..... useful for the first time in these last few years.

You may certainly do so Morse. Infiltration is useful, because that's moving silently, keeping out of sight and so on. But I've never seen a use for Espionage. This unit isn't Black Ops.

I wanna switch my Professional in Espionage (Still don't know why I have that) and put it into infiltration.

And I wanna put the Expert from Infiltration into Medical.


But I do want that 41A with gernade launcher and a gas mask.

The skills and gear are not a problem.

Being the nosey neighbor, I was looking over Rednus' sheet, and I think he's missing a skill at the 2 X's level (compentent?). giving a heads up just in case.

C = Certified,
thanks duncan, thought it was all sorted, but I'll wait to see what Quinn thinks.

Cheers. :)

If that's what's standard for a character, then that 's what it is.
