There is a flaw explaining your confusion

Enlighten me...?

You have 17 dots in talents, so 13+4 (20 XP spent). You have 10 dots in knowledges so 9 +1 (5 XP spent). And your Willpower is 1 point higher than your Courage so that's 10 XP spent. 20 + 5 + 10 = 35

You used 2 out of 5 background dots so that's 3 dots converted to 15 bonus XP, for a total of 45 XP available. Minus the 35 XP spent that's 10 XP left.

You can keep one of the three abilities in question at 5 dots if you reduce the other two to 3 or you can have them all at 4 dots. Someone that skilled would be too valuable to waste on a suicide mission.

Also, you might wish to invest some dots into Drive and Computer. Right now your character doesn't even know how to use e-mail and he's not taking any companies over like that.

For Drive 1 dot means you can drive a car with automatic transmission and 2 dots means you can drive a normal car. For computers 1 dot means you can do simple things like turn the thing on, send e-mail, or write a Word document. 2 dots means you know how to install programs, search for information online, that kind of thing.

We're doing the same numbers, you just forgotten I cannot raise anything above 3, except with freebies. Don't worry I got this.

So either only one of my explanations was good, or all of them average? I can accept this reasoning and will adapt accordingly. Also he won't be an Assamite.

Had a driver. Will definitely invest in computers. Any suggestions for the merit?

http://reference.l2fury.com/index.php/Absent-Minded is a 3 pts... And I have it, not Sebastian.

For this does not qualify:

Yeah, the last on will come later
Rival sires.

Two Pack Disgraces!? May be a tough competition...

Your character will be entertained with two Sires...

Could we have a 500 year old Obertus Ravenant as a Retinue, with the sole responsibility of reminding our characters not to be a band of total mongs?

On a second thought, doesn't Common sense Merit do the same?

Yes, it does. It obliges the ST to tell you that whatever you are going to do is stupid whenever the thing that you are going to do is stupid.

To think about it, maybe it is for good neither Jad nor me gave it to our Characters. You would have lost so many occasions to cackle at us...

I thought about the merit!

Just because I'm obliged to tell you, doesn't mean you're obliged to listen.

Wait... Haven't you just said that you believe we would have went FUBAR even despite you telling us we are going full retard? Such a lack of faith in our capabilities...

Or maybe the deepest faith in our collective ability to yell Allahu akbar and miss every time while trying to penetrate with a stake...?

Let's say I have faith in your ability to entertain me with your decisions.

Jad, you had a good idea with that Merit!

Komu není shůry dáno, v apatyce nekoupí.
You won't get less stupid by buying shit.

Have you heard of Bauerlecitin?

Alright, you both seem to be more or less set now. I'll need to speed up my own preparations. And for the record, we will not be using attribute specialties.

Edit: We'll see how the game goes, and if we reach some end, I'd like to learn the ST craft. Gods have mercy on your souls.

That sounded omnnious...

@Draggy: Good to know! We could make a good chronicle starring two masters of disasters...

I just had to say it you know. We (I hope 'we') will talk about that much later.

Edit: Btw I took that common sense.

Well, yeah, I know you that much to know you couldn't resist... Well, I am willing to give it a try. Let's hope Draggy sets up the curent one to go.

After all those years together on the forum, I got to know your sense of humour... Kind of Jewish, to think of it... Well, it is familliar for a reason.
