Never under-estimate body dev. I regret so much not taking it now!

That, and level 2 magic. Ranger skills are very, very rarely used, apart from forage (and sometimes a few frothy bits).

My two pennies. Coming from a starting character of:
Ranger 1 +2
Corp 1
1 Hand, Ambi, Light Armour.

Niche stuff is tricky!]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:50:59 +0000 http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4804#4804 General discussion : I need recruiting http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4803#4803 Author: steptoe

and what would you spend the other 3 trick points on.

Saddly there are a few combinations of of skills that are seriously more effective in cp than the others (in part its a by product of a system that can be played by hundreds of people symaltaniously with limited reffing).

most lore skills are almost never used.  I mean not ever.

Ranger sounds like a must for those that want to be ranger like but in truth it equals foraging.

contribute 3 is useful IF you are part of a ritual team.  rituals require practice to be good or a very tight knit circle of friends that can play off each other at short notice.  the smaller the points of contribute per person the larger the group.  the larger the group the more practice you need.

sword and light armour = you get killed alot for the cost of 4 character points.

Shaman 1 is a nice complement to a character build but on its own its not going to give you much to work with.

I'm not trying to wee on your chips but i'd definately cut at least one of your aspects back and boost something else.

loose ranger and a point of contribute and take some form of magic lvl2
loose ranger take 4 extra contribute (that'll make you worth talking to)
loose shaman and the contribute - get maps, a bow and upgrade to medium (then rob a bank to get money for arrows).
loose ranger, 1-h and armour and then get magic 2 and shield.

plenty of options but if you basically second class at everything then you won't fit into any niche.

Well I don't like to powergame or metagame in public.  But...
 
If I take 3 points of Contribute, I have an obvious 'in' to ritual groups around the assorted factions, and they often seem to be most directly involved in plot.  But this would mean I had to take a magic skill, such as Shaman 1.  (running total 9) Since I definitely want Literacy and Numeracy, and Ranger1 would be useful, the points are starting to stack up (running total 16).   Light armour and one-handed weapon would use up all 20 of my starting points.
 
Am I spreading myself too thin stat-wise, or do I have just enough Magic and Lore/General skills to be useful with a token amount of Combat to stop me having to spend the entire event in hiding?   I can always pick up Ranger2 as a veteran skill, possibly as half of Tricks of the Trade.

@Rych - did I mention I'd taken Ranger 2 as a vet pick?]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:08:18 +0000 http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4800#4800 General discussion : I need recruiting http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4799#4799 Author: Archivist

No, no pm-ing on the Lions forum. Too expensive, apparantly ;)]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:32:28 +0000 http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4798#4798 General discussion : I need recruiting http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4797#4797 Author: kiwi chris

And as an aside... any male wearing tights in the group is hung by the testicles from a branch with weights tied to his ankles and wrists.]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:20:47 +0000 http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4796#4796 General discussion : I need recruiting http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4795#4795 Author: Rych

Sauce is awesome... I have currently filled the parts of Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck (Or equivalents, OK?) Would very much like a Much the Miller's son and an Alan a Dale (but that requires lots and lots of music) And should you decide your idea involves getting a sex change... I would very much enjoy a maid Marion in the group as well.]]> Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:19:06 +0000 http://www.cplions.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=445&PID=4795#4795
