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.

So, I've been contemplating dumping the Fate down to -1 (no -2, I am not that suicidal). Currently it's +1, so that'd be equivalent to 10 points freed. Any advice on whether it's a good idea, passable, or Not Good one?

Also, to those who picked upgrading Fate on roleplaying reasons, what would be your assessment of Maurice and his Fate stat, character-wise (based on your personal interpretation of that stat's meaning)? I remember that Lenglon had previously tackled the problem with respeccing her character, and possibly several others too.

The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

@Nunzillor
First, bonuses can't go above +2 at chargen. Second, treat it exactly as the original system, except that there's an extra +1/-1 insterted in the bonuses/penalties progression, the bonus of which has to be used on upgrading 0->+1.

So, in general, it works this way:
The whole table of possible variants for your convenience:
Code: [Select]
1 +1s:  1 -1s
2 +1s:  2 -1s if on separate stats
2 +1s:  3 -1s if on the same stat (as in original system)
3 +1s:  4 -1s ( 4=1+1+2)          (the inefficiency of over-specialization starts to kick in)
4 +1s:  7 -1s ( 7=1+1+2+3)
5 +1s: 11 -1s (11=1+1+2+3+4)
Oh, and it's impossible to spread around 11 -1s, as it was discovered later, so the last line is mostly for calculations reference.
Anyway, it appears that the wiki Stats and Skills page is up to date on current respeccing rules.

@Lenglon
Ah, pity. I was really looking forward to your advice on the matter, since you were the first one to bring it up originally.

Thanks, Nikitian.  I have edited the post to hopefully be correct.

I think I did this correctly.
Not quite.

The +1/-1 rule only works for two +1/-1s. If you have a single +2 you have to have three -1s, and if you have three +1s you have to have four -1s, and increasing from there.

So you need one more -1 (or one less +1 and one less -1) for your stats, and either turn your +2 into a +1, or add three more -1s to your skills.

On top of that, however, you get 5 points per mission for both the Stat and the skill block, so you can distribute 10 more points on Stats.

If you're confused, use this: http://parisbre56-phpexperiment.rhcloud.com/character_creation.html

@Nunzillor It appears that you have +4/-9 in total for skills, whereas for +4 only -7 is required (=1 for "first" bonus, 1 for extra bonus, 2 for "second" (third with extra) bonus, 3 for "third"(fourth with extra) bonus). Stats appear correct, though.

@TCM I'm afraid you're missing on penalties for both stats and skills in the initial charsheet; specifically, for 3 bonuses in total there have to be 4 penalties, and for 4 bonuses - 7 penalties. Please consult the table I posted above, the Stats and Skills wiki page or the character respec calculator linked in the Piecewise's title post of this thread (note that the chargen system outlined in said post is a bit out of date).

I had read on the on ship thread that there was additional changes. Sorry for being a trouble and not reading up on the changes myself, but I am short on time. This is my sheet. Do I need to change anything on it?

Stats are fine, as for skills you should drop one of -2s (or downgrade two -2s to -1s).

Thanks for the reception, I think I've made the proper adjustments now.
