What about a former Zhodani psionic commando?

What about a former Zhodani psionic commando?

As the players will have had their backgrounds vetted by the person selling the ship to your new boss, and they would have reservations about such a character (and the ability to put their feet down) I have to reluctantly say no. Bottom line, there is going to be some advanced technology in play and it comes with strings attached. Sorry.

Now, if you wanted to be an Imperial with psionics, that might be possible, though it would have to be tweaked a little. It's the foreign national aspect that stops this, and the four frontier wars the Zho and Imperium have fought.

There is an event in the Life Events table where someone could find a psionic institute. If you like, I will allow you to take that as a result but there is a price to be paid. You'd need to devote one term (the one before you became a bounty hunter and did a term there) as a psion. For example, say you were a scout. You could do three terms, encounter the institute and take the psion career on term four. You would then leave it and do term five as a bounty hunter. Also, for psionics, I would do the rolls.

If that appeals, we can do it. If not, back to the drawing board. Again, my apologies for quashing the idea.

Sorry, I was just kidding! I should have put a smiley next to the request. I was thinking of the most ridiculous background possible!

And you still got a serious answer. The ball is in your court.

I entered the first character into the character sheet but parts didn't fit. I suspect it'll be easier for me to take the finished characters and make text entries for them. Let's just do that.

Are we ditching the character sheets?

We are. I’ll just make finalized text versions.

Be advised that the first bounty has been posted. They look like rough characters, so I'd be careful taking that one on, even if it is worth a fortune.

... and because Maths is hard Garvin has Electronics 2 (and not 1).

Corrected in my posts but not in the master copy of his character sheet.

Fixed! I expected you to complain that Sigrun was being undervalued on her bounty.

Well, you stymied me there! I wanted to comment - but you were so close to the mark I wasn't sure whether I should ... I'd certainly have to agree that she does seem to be getting sold a little short...

Thanks for making the correction.

While I'm on please sling a thumbs up from Flighty at Donovan (and Sigrun) and we're meeting new folk in Rangent!

Done. I figured Sigrun would be giving the thumbs up. My mistake.

Well, Flighty is in charge of that rolling circus...

Sigrun did give the thumbs up but then tripped over her own "warband hierarchy" vibe...

Annnd, as per the above, Flighty's in charge it's all going to be his fault!

I unlocked and renamed the "Bounty Hunter Notes on People, Places, Things, and Organizations" thread. If you read the first post now, it explains that is where YOU will keep your notes on people, places, things, and organizations. You can make the entries, or on occasion. I might. Either the original poster can update their own note or you can just replay with the requested additions or updates and I'll make it happen and delete the change request to keep the thread focused. This is where you'll keep info on whatever so you don't forget it somewhere down the line, so don't be shy. It's still sticky, so it'll stay up top where you can find it.

What do people usually load up on when they have a computer or Wafer Jack? I can see backing up a few skills.
