I'm making a level 3 Halfling Operative Thief named Sorn his ability scores are 12/17/12/14/16/16 (are GM allows us to roll for stats the 4d6 minus the lowest method) i got lucky with the number i think) His theme is outlaw at 1st level i took Improved Initiative,and im thinking about doing weapon focus(smallarms) at 3rd I figured there was no point in taking a prof for any other weapons. His back story is he was born and raised on a halfling Caravan Ship The Zuzaristan his PROFESSION skill is Quartermaster his family were all quartermaster of The Zuzaristan he's decided that theres time still before hes gotta take over for his father so he would like to see the galaxy for awhile.
I pictured him as a Han Solo/Nog from Star Trek ds9(the bad ass scoundrel smuggler that can eventually get a hold of the piece of cargo you want)
so for Operative Exploits I'm not quite sure there s few I'm thinking about but em not sure which to take or if there's other ones that are better. Armor Optimizer, Concealed Weapon, Elite Saboteur, Lightning Reload, Pistol Whip, Trap Spotter, I'm not sure which of these trap spotter was my 1st thought sense I was thinking about a halfling rogue i did for 5E D&D, then was thinking armor optimizer or lightning reload or pistol whip for a more combat oriented Thief Operative. So any help or thoughts on different exploits any could think of be a big help.
