How are avatar bonusses used? Are they still +1 across the board? How about str and end, since those are now more 'how you use it' and less raw capability, are they still +2, or not? Finally, are the bonusses applied after skills/stats, aka do they count for the point cost in some way?

Is Summon Sheep Willpower or Fate?

...what does Xan's shapeshifting use now? Still willpower?
I'm buffing Fate anyway, but still.

Does the year-long mission count as two levels or one? It used to count as 2.
Not sure how useful stats are going to be for Heph personnel in the near future, but the more points Anton has, the better. ^_^
So far I cound the year-long mission, the Heph Defense, and one timeskip until this mission. So, 15 or 20 points. With the last mission over, definitely at least 20.

edit: apparently not. New sheet posted in new post.

Anomalous Planetoid granted two levels back then, so it makes sense if it still counts as two.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I've got some questions before I make my new sheet:
- How do mindpoints work from here on out?
- What will happen to the +2dex/+1end/+1uncon from my synthflesh body? Do I still get those, only the uncon or none?
- I got a +3 skill points in exo from the timeskip, does that count for anything?
- We still get the token refund from the decomps right?
- What about the stat req. for amps?
- and I remember there being said that the armory was going to get some new stuff along with the new system. Was I dreaming?

On a later page is my character sheets right now

There we go. If I live to assimilate another day, Xan will be a much more competent, focused, and horrific individual who doesn't constantly kill himself because he's so good at his rolls all the time.

Of course this is still pending any significant changes, and what amps will require now, but this is basically what I think I'd put.

Knowing PW, however, I bet PW will be happy to use the issue of clone 'degradation' to mess up those will rolls in some ways.

Wait, are bonuses from char creation applied before or after stat points invested? Aka, if I have a +1 from char creation, does next level take 5 or 10 points?

This is why I've minmaxed so heavily as to get a +4 in Will, and that +1 in Fate.
Because those have been the two things fucking me over in all actuality.

I'd think you apply the points you get from missions after the base character is made and act like the prices increase accordingly, so it'd cost 10 points for the next level in your example.

Oh, I see how I fucked up there. I gotta subtract one more stat bonus in order to get the +3 properly. Hmm...
Edit: there we go - I'll be fucked in strength for a little while but I'm not really focused so much on that department anyhow right now.

There's another mistake, though PW added this in after the original post.

Max bonus for a starting character is +2. You cannot start with +3 in will, so in order to get +4 you must sink a minimum of 35 points into the area.

Wait, he said there's a maximum of +2 for new characters.
...I may have misinterpreted that. Thought it meant new as in 'haven't gone on any missions yet' new.
Hm. Gonna need some consideration here then.
EDIT: There we are, updated it somewhat. That should work better, I think. Two missions to superwill status.
