AoT Arakis Marank

[Xemides]

Hi there Simulacrum,

just a small question:

How did you create Arakis Marank from the pre-generated Characters ? Does he vave more Freepoints ?

I sk because when playersd want to create SCs for themselves, is would be helpfull to know hhow you gave him his experience.

Thanx in advance

Christoph

I think (and IIRC!) you will find he just has an extra round of professional experience - the Militiaman skill set on page 14. This was applied prior to allocation of FSPs, to enable his Lore (Tactics and Drill) etc to be increased. Looking at his stats again, I can see that +20 has been applied from FPS to that, as well as to Spear and Shield and Sidearm and Shield.

This clearly gives him an advantage (he has +50% more skill points than the other characters), although it comes with some RP responsibilities as group leader, and is likely to get put in the firing line before anyone else. Also, if you are having someone role up a squad leader rather than use the pre-gens, their previous experience prior to their militia service should be something pretty humdrum - Arakis was a farmer - otherwise it is unlikely that character would have volunteered for additional service. This provides a bit more balance too.
