I feel like I am catching chocobos.

What's a chocobos?

And I've added your initiatives to the slides according to your profiles. Please check that they are correct.

Hi, everyone,

I'm having a rough time for several reasons right now. For the next few days, it's possible my posts might be really brief, without much character. If this happens, please don't take it amiss; I will return to normal posting as soon as I can.

Kneepuncher is not a terrible captain (Diplomacy +7, Intimidate +9) or gunner (+6).

Sir Feighnswelle is actually a pretty good captain (+9 Diplomacy/+11 Intimidate) or chief mate (+10 Athletics). He makes an adequate magic officer (+6 Mysticism), a poor gunner (+0 Gunnery), and lacks the skills to perform any other roles.

Delea's only relevant skills are diplomacy +8 and mysticism +14.

Delea: Hope things work out for you soon!

Navasi's relevant starship stats...

Captain: Diplomacy +9
Science: Computers +9
Engineer: Nope!
Pilot: +9
Magic Officer: Nope!
Chief Mate: Acrobatics +9
Gunner: +6

As for which frame, I suppose the Drake? I haven't had any experience yet with the Gorgon.

The Specialist is likely best in the Engineer role. Engineering +14

Assuming I've read and calculated everything correctly:

  • Feighnswelle, for gunnery you get your BAB bonus so you're at +4 not +0
  • Specialist is actually our best gunner with his BAB and DEX bonus at +7 total
  • Navasi seems to be the only pilot in the group
  • Kneepuncher is probably best allocated as a dedicated gunner

    ---------

    Welp, taking a look overall, it seems to me the following is the best distribution, assuming we want to optimize gunners at the expense of science offier:

  • Specialist: Gunner +7
  • Feighnswelle: Captain
  • Tanila: Engineer +11
  • Delea: Magic Officer +14 (mostly precog? but perhaps some srying early on)
  • Kneepuncher: Gunner +6
  • Navasi: Pilot +9

    ---------

    If we instead change positions to take a hit on gunner optimzation and include a science officer then perhaps:

  • Specialist: Engineer +14
  • Feighnswelle: Gunner +4
  • Tanila: Science officer +14
  • Delea: Magic Officer +14 (mostly precog), or Captain +8
  • Kneepuncher: Gunner +6
  • Navasi: Pilot +9

  • Exo-Guardians

(average) | Entropy 1/6 | Reactive 1/1 | Size: Large | 0 Reroll | Active conditions: Shaken 24 hours, Weird Stuff, Other Weird Stuff

    I often see a science officer used first round for a scan, then they move to another role. Delea can do that as Magic Officer instead, so I would vote for the first distribution.

    Skills:
    Athletics +10 (+18 when swimming), Culture +7, Diplomacy +9, Intimidate +11, Mysticism +6, Profession (profession (pugilist)) +9

    I am fine with either Captain or Gunner. I have no preference on the ship. I have played this once before, so I am fine taking a back seat on these types of decisions.

    Yeah, I think Delea will do much better as magic officer. I can switch between rounds if we think it necessary.

    Sir Feighnswelle favors the Drake.

    Drake is good.

    I'll be in transit soon on a trip including some long haul flights. My posting from Sunday through to Tuesday, Oct 10-12 may be limited or non-existent. Feel free to bot Navasi and/or use her skill rolls as desired!

    @phaeton_nz, are you still around? It's been a couple days. Just checking - hopefully we haven't lost our GM.

    No. Been busy - also waiting to see if you have decided on your ship. Looks like it's a Tier 4 Drake so will set up accordingly. Should be done later today.

    Specialist: I believe you're one of the gunners (and our best) with a +7 with Tanila as the engineer - unless there's some other reason Specialist cannot gun that I'm unaware of? Perhaps you'll gun during round 3...?

    I think there's some confusion about what seat everyone is in - it doesn't match either set from upthread. Not that it matters for me, but I thought we were doing the second option after Tanila started sciencing.

    I thought her science was a pre-battle roll so didn't count for round 1. And since the GM called for a science roll, I assumed it had to be computers and couldn't be replaced with a magic officer Mysticism roll.

    Overall tho, I'm totally okay with whichever roles everyone wants to roll with. I was just looking to figure out how to optimize for the current party composition.

    Hey everyone. As mentioned, I'll be out for a couple days. Please go ahead and bot me over the next couple day!
