There's a training log in the Google Doc. Vee tried to start Medical training and failed, she has one more slot to work with. Let me think a bit if Admin-0 is something you have resources to train for (the more academic skills generally require schooling, on the other hand you're on a noble's yacht and Admin is something they might well have some kind of training tape for).joertexas wrote:Do we have a training log thread?ffilz wrote:I'd also like to draw everyone's attention to the training log.

During the week in jump, Vee applies herself to studying everything she can find about House Foix, including interviews with its current leader
Working toward Admin-0, possibly?
Ana is already training in Blade and failed to start training in Engineering so both her slots are occupied. In a bit less than a year she can try and start another training.Ramona wrote:Ana will train in training.
Foix is already training with Autorifle, so he has one other slot.Tiglath wrote:Foix trains hard during jump. He puts in range time with SMG and pistol (oddly spending time in one handed target practice as well as "combat" shooting) and uses almost fanatical practice of his forms with his heavy rapier as physical exercise. He also makes himself available for lengthy interviews with Vee.
He also monitors those on the away team on Arthiop to ensure no complications arise from rad exposure.
Grimaud puts on one three course formal dinner during the jump but it is a modest and actually rather "informal" affair by his standards so as to not overwhelm the new crew members.
Foix will be anxious to hear any news from Damkina accessing local news feeds as soon as possible after arrival. He authorises contact with House assets on world using Lady Alicia's authorisation and studies this information for anything awry.
Taheri finds training in Laser Rifle quite satisfying (dedication roll 7+2 success, so she has Laser Rifle-0 (1) now, if she is able to maintain the training for 4 years the increase will become permanent to Laser Rifle-1).SpinwardMarch wrote:Cmdr. Taheri is going to work on improving her laser rifle skill, since she has one from the previous adventure.
Taheri doesn't have Admin-0 or better so that isn't available for training and is definitely something that would require schooling. One option though is she work on Vacc Suit and then train someone else up to Vacc Suit-0. Another option would be to train a secondary weapon to skill-1.SpinwardMarch wrote:Cmdr. Taheri
In order to shift to her new position as advisor, she is going to start working on Admin as her second training slot. Unless the referee has another suitable suggestion.
PCs have level-0 in all weapons including Gunnery and Brawling so you could pick up any other weapon like a pistol or another long arm.SpinwardMarch wrote:Cmdr. Taheri
Thank you. She will start working on vacc suit training, and offer to train someone else needing improvement. I envisioned her as someone being able to see the "bigger picture" because she wound up with a variety of skills (including JoT).
The only secondary weapon I have listed is blade combat-0, and I am not sure how useful that would be for her current circumstances.
Petrov has Shotgun-2, he doesn't have Jack of all Trades.RotFuchs wrote:Petrov would like to continue training in his shogun skills and Jack of Trades. Both are are at 0 if I remember correctly. He would also like to get his case with the rest of his equipment aboard the ship.
Which specific blade? I suggest Cutlass or Broadsword. Broadsword is a really good weapon, on par with SMG and Auto-Rifle as the best weapons against Battle Dress at appropriate ranges... Cutlass of course is the weapon of the Marines and is common shipboard and a bit easier to handle in close quarters.SpinwardMarch wrote:Cmdr. Taheri
How about she starts working on blade combat (currently at 0)? Seems like a useful skill, and won't go through the bulkheads.
Oh, did you want to do Broadsword or Vacc-Suit?SpinwardMarch wrote:Cmdr. Taheri
She will go for the broadsword. Let the Marines have their cutlasses, the broadsword seems a better weapon. Yes, interservice rivalry exists far into the future.
So Petrov could certainly train in Shotgun, but note that as a skill > level-0, it will take 8 years of training to solidify it into Shotgun-3, however, if he passes his dedication roll, he is Shotgun-3 for the next 4 years (at which point he has to pass a second dedication roll).ffilz wrote:Petrov has Shotgun-2, he doesn't have Jack of all Trades.RotFuchs wrote:Petrov would like to continue training in his shogun skills and Jack of Trades.
