Special Abilities:
Body Armor: The Verpine's natural chitinous plate armor gives them a +1D bonus against physical attacks.
Microscopic Sight: +1D bonus to search when looking for small objects, due to their highly evolved eyes.
Organic Telecommunication: Because Verpine can send and receive radio waves through their antenna, they have the ability to communicate with other members of their species and with specially-tuned comlinks. The range is very limited when they are acting individually (1 km) but greatly increases when in the hive (covers the entire Roche asteroid field).
Technical Bonus: All Verpine receive a +2D bonus when using their Technical skills.

Story Factors:
Rebel Intelligence Contact: Zyss: Ttejk’s handler is a contact named Zyss. They have many ways to communicate, most are clandestine. When he wants to contact Zyss he must roll a moderate difficulty with Streetwise. A complication on the Wild Die could mean that Ttejk’s cover is blown or ISB are hunting him.

Move: 10m
Character Points: 5
Force Points: 1
Corruption: 0
Force Sensitive: No

Equipment: Street clothing, Cumulus-U500 DataPad (MU: 10; universal port adapter, Scomp port adapter), electronic lockpicking kit, blaster pistol (4D, 3-10/30/120), Sneaksuit (Adds +1D to sneak), Raven Nightvision Goggles (+2D search in low light environments), BlasTech Survivor 1000 Concealment Vest (+1D vs. energy, +1 vs. physical, lightweight vest easily worn under clothes), 1,000 credits.

Background: Ttejk always considered himself honest, but a job is a job. If you won’t do it, someone else will. He was talented and he knew it, taking jobs and charging a premium. After a while the job was easy, what he craved was excitement. The harder the assignment the more dangerous, the better. He was at the top of his game, until that night. The night he had been hired steal information from a non-descript office. An office belonging to ISB. He was forced to flee his home with little more than his equipment, stashed credits and his life. He is pretty sure that one of his rivals set him up. Angry and bitter, he tried to find out who set him up. It was at this time he was approached by Zyss Dabnik a Rebel Alliance intelligence operative. Promising to help him find his nemesis Zyss spent the next sixteen months taining Ttjek as an asset.

Personality: Focused and a calculating risk taker. Ttejk seems challenges and though he prefer to have a plan is quite capable of “winging it.” He will put himself in danger to help his friends. Ttejk is known to hold a grudge for a long time. Typically not quick to anger, rudeness and lack manners can set him off.

Goals: Ttejk wants to find out who set him up. He assumes it was a rival, but which one? Though his life is plenty exciting now, it wasn’t his choice and he misses the comforts of the Core Worlds.

A Quote: “250th floor, 140 kmph crosswinds, DossTech Triple Ermarrian lock and a 30 second window? I can do that!”

If this is a starting character, how is it he has an advanced skill?

But since your comp prog/rep is only 4d+2, and security is less than that, how do you meet the reqs for slicing?

Because the skill does not exist and I created it and I say it requires a Computer Programming/Repair of 4D, which the character has.

So you effectively chose to lower it, even though all other (A) skills wrote in the RAW, require prereqs being 5d.

Nowhere in the RAW does it state that prerequisites for advanced skills must be a minimum of 5D. If you look at the prerequisites for the Engineering skills listed in Hideouts & Strongholds, some of them have prerequisites as low as 1D.

It does raise a question, though. If prerequisites are set low enough, a character could meet the prerequisite simply by having a high enough attribute, even though he has no dice in the prerequisite skill...

[garhkal]

Its true hide outs and strongholds breaks the R&E rulebook's listing for needing 5d in a prereq. But even there the singular skill prereq'ed (A) skills are at least a min of 4d. Which is something i never understood. Why would the main book go over (A) skills needing a 5d in their prereq if another book comes out and lowers that?

[CRMcNeill]

Because the main book never specified a minimum skill level for prerequisites. 5D First Aid as a prerequisite for (A) Medicine was strictly for that skill, not a general rule for all advanced skills.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on that subject. Looking at some of the other (A) skills, such as interrogation, brainwashing and the like, they both require intimidation at 5d. So what makes others different that they only need 4d, or 3d?
