Destiny is in flight again. Characters and such will follow soon. Let me know if there is info on your character you do not want shared.

I will look to post every 2nd Thursday, with Friday being my backup if running behind. Feel free to post anytime within the timeframe.

Ok, so I need some help getting Alexander Castlebrandt up to speed.  I have a good background story and assets and complications.  

But the 48 points  mentioned - is that just for attributes?  Or attributes and skills?  

48 is for attributes 

76 is for skills 

Got your message back about the time I posted this.  I just didn't want to keep delaying things!

So, below are my first thoughts for skills.  At the moment I think it adds up to 68 points out of the allowed 76.  If I'm doing it right.  The way it is listed (templating made more sense in WORD) is the number after the skill is the dice (d6, etc...) and the last number is what I think it is costing me in points.  Am I doing it right?  

A few thoughts: 

1.  He isn't a fighter at all.  You also said don't worry about guns.  I figured as a smuggler he has held a gun, but not much more.  So it is low. 

2.  I'm sort of lost on the pilot skills.  This should be his chief "smuggler skill" - along with knowledge of old objects, I guess.  But which sub-categories fit best?  

3.  As I mentioned in the previus message, can you have points in a generic category but not any subcategory?  Like medical or perception generically?  

Suggestions are very welcome.

*Athletics – Dodge, d6 6
*Guns - d2 2
*Knowledge – d6 6
     Philosophy d12 6

Also, do we worry about posessions?   I didn't see anything in your generic "firefly" post on that.   If we do it I'm sure I can get Tann to help with that.  

Not sure this will help but here is my characters finished skill list. My Melee Weapon Combat skill is my only skill without a sub-catagory so yes you don't have to have sub-catagory.
