I understand what you're saying, but that's playing the rules instead of the story. I'm not saying it couldn't be a valid move from the story's perspective as well, you generally just shouldn't think like that.

Since this is about our starting gear and we won't likely have any exotic wishes, I think we'll get some leeway from Silhar anyhow.

Klear:
Well, it makes sense from both perspectives and it's not a big deal. Additionally, while MkLear and Lazerus may have a greater chance of finding the stuff, it's still up to chance, and it would be hilarious if it was HexaDoken who finds the more rare items.

Edit: First we have to get planetside anyway, and get our instructions from the guards at the dock. Also - maybe we'll need some place to stay, some base of operations? We should leave some money for that, and/or for some unexpected expediences. We'll see when we get there, I guess.

Hadn't thought of that yet, but doing so, I don't think 1000 thrones is going to cover it. Buying real estate of any kind with that money is out of the question, and somehow I think this isn't like Dungeons and Dragons, where you just hop by the nearest convenient inn (although if anyone sees 'Hotel & Spa' signs along the way, please let me know). Although now I see the book (p152) does provide a list for this.

It also depends on where we land I guess. If we start out in the 'normal' Hive areas (the factory floors, so to speak), we should be able to find some I guess. I don't expect the same kite to fly in the Underhive, though...

It's agreed that we don't have to spend all our money at once, though. Like I said, if we each make lists of what we think is necessary and/or convenient, we'll have something to discuss.

HexaDoken:
"You're a grunt, right? What sort of outfit were you with?" <- eh, don't really understand the question. What kind of 'job' I did in military? Well, umm, grunts? The guys that run around and shoot people and are mostly used as cannon fodder rather than actual fighting force.

Can you hop on IRC btw? It will be easier to discuss things.

Silhar:

--- Quote from: LuckyDee on June 08, 2012, 00:06 ---* We started out with 400 xp, which I've spent. Does this mean that after the next advance I take (since 100xp is the minimum to spend) I'll rise to the second rank in my career path, and as such can choose the advance after that from both the Dreg and Outcast categories? Although to me this makes sense, I contradicts the fact that Sound Constitution is listed both in the Dreg as in the Rogue advances, at 100 and 200 xp respectively...

* Although this is still very far away: Under the Rogue advances, Sharpshooter is listed, for which Deadeye Shot is required. However, Deadeye Shot is not included in any advance scheme... Is this a flaw in the rulebook, or am I missing something?

Silhar, I assume the weapons we have so far are of 'common' Craftsmanship...

1) Yes, that's what it is. When you spend another 100 xp, you'll become Outcast and you will be able to pick skills/traits from both charts.
2) As for the Sharpshooter, there is a mistake, for the trait shouldn't have these requirements at all.

And yes, all the weaponry you have is of common crafting.
