OOC Chat - End Game

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yeah...none of them naval tactician.

[Cole Ormont]

@cole. 25 points for quick strike is really a hard sell though. And the talent next to it is pretty sub par as well, there are better ways to spend destiny.

My plan was to pick up the 2 ranks of side step, then go down the left side of the tree for dedication. Which seems a bit meh still....

Yeah. In fact, I'm considering changing my end-game spend to avoid that. I have Supreme Stim Application in the bottom corner of my tree, which is a nice bonus, but I don't want to spend 25 points on something that only procs on a Triumph.

The other insanely annoying thing about the talent trees is not being able to afford the talents you want because you had "left over" xp. After spending the xp from end game, I had 10xp left over that I dropped into a talent I didn't really want. That xp would have been significantly more useful to hold onto until the first session of the following game.

Then again, I'm looking at changing my spend, so... *frustrated grunt*

[Zanebry Varliss]

I haven't spent any end game exp...

Think I'll bank it until next game on the off chance splat book specializations are allowed. I'd really like gunslinger I think.

[Cole Ormont]

I haven't officially spent anything, yet! But I keep putting plans down. Just an hour ago I was predicting how I wanted to spend next game's xp.

But if banking is an option, I'd like to grab some skills and talents to represent what Cole will be getting up to for the next two years, and bank the rest.

[Jo'ren Rath]

Um, you can hold onto XP until the start of the next game...

My problem is too many great choices. I can't hit FR2 yet, but there are loads of great talents I can pick up.

[Cole Ormont]

*points to multiple references to this being my second pbp*

[Jo'ren Rath]

*Huggles Cole*

That's awesome! I guess I didn't read them

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Yeah, you can totally bank your XP. During game and between games.

Just have to resist the temptation of spending it all.

I am at least getting close to FR2, and should hit it easily for the next time Shaisha appears (which won't be next game since she's still in the Imperial-camp xD).

[Galen Sol]

I spent all of mine. I figured if I was going to use that lightsaber I found I should have some competence with it.

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yeah if I continued Yslane's build I have no idea where it would go. Might be an amusing thought experiment some time.

[Durasay Mixo]

Yeah...none of them naval tactician.

Overall, Commodore is the weakest Commander spec. It just doesn't do anything. It has a decent skill set, but you hamstring yourself if you take it, compared to Squadron Leader, or Tactician.

[Yslane Tssilla]

I suppose it is a bit harder to RP an Admiral or General in an RPG meant for a table top. They probably should have focused it entirely on buffing ship crew and found a different name.

[Durasay Mixo]

From what I've heard, it's designed by the devs to be a second specialization, once a group gets enough of a contribution rank with Duty to be granted a small capital ship.

[Yslane Tssilla]

Ah, not sure I like the idea of a secondary spec being a part of a career's specs in the core book. Kind of seems like "quick we need a third Commander!"

Incidentally anyone know what is in the Commander book?

[Arali Zian]

*Pokes thread.*

[Cole Ormont]

*thread pokes back*

[Yslane Tssilla]

I'm not being a bother with the dirty dirty crunch talk? Am I?

[Cole Ormont]

Of course not! I'm following with interest, I'm just doing some writing at the same time.

[Zanebry Varliss]

I'm at work. So I can't talk crunch but from memory. >.> my memory isn't the best either.

I can look at the commander book later Maybe?

[Yslane Tssilla]

Sorry that was not a serious thing, just an amused comment about the pokes.

[Zanebry Varliss]

Lol.

Alright!

*pokes Yslane in vengeance!*

[Cole Ormont]

What's the book called?

And fiction here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1733

[Durasay Mixo]

Ah, not sure I like the idea of a secondary spec being a part of a career's specs in the core book. Kind of seems like "quick we need a third Commander!"

Incidentally anyone know what is in the Commander book?

Instructor, Figurehead, and Strategist.

Figurehead is all about Inspiring Rhetoric and Charm.

Instructor is a support commander.

Strategist is all about mass combat rules.

[Remmington Thalalas]

Don't worry about it Yslane, I didn't do the optimal build either. I think I was like Vec and still had an L5R mindset. My stuff is all over the place. Though went with a more skilled base. Should have invested into 4s. Oh well. C'est la vie. You live you learn.

[Aphr Ahaya]

I have 2 specializations going into this game. I've taken 4 talents from Scoundrel (of which I regret 3 of them) and 3 or 4 from Force-Sensitive, which have been useful (well one hasn't).

My endgame goal has me gaining a THIRD spec.

I feel so unspecialized X.X
