And the Millenium Falcon for my Free Trader benefit ship (famous and well respected, but also blacklisted and marked for impound). Edit - Updated my application post with a link to the rolls (she went 4 terms as a Free Trader), as well as added to career events that are available to use for connections.

Stat rolls were miserable for me as well. I usually don't mind pushing forward with mediocre attributes but I'm just not interested in putting effort into a character with a 2 stat. Maybe I will sleep on it since there was a 12 as well. Maybe a crippled genius of some sort though I doubt I could do that level of intellect justice in posts.

I'm about done on mine, just weighing the value of 'one more term'. I know that's a trap, but maybe I'll be the lucky one.

I think if a character ends up with net negative DM modifiers when considering their initial stat line up as a whole it is fair to ditch the rolls and try again.
The random nature of character generation comes with a lot of risks (first character I ever rolled flunked out of college on her first Event roll) but at the same time I don't want people to be lumbered with someone unplayable. |

It seems to me a 2 stat isn't a big deal, especially when you have a 12. You just have to lean into your strengths, no? This doesn't strike me as a system where characters tend to be balanced and dump stats are to be avoided.
After a bit of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that I have a coherent story and picture there and Lydia works with this screwed-up life story. I will update the application accordingly!

I'm fairly new to Traveller but I am aware combat can be very dangerous and I don't want the PCs dropping like flies if someone gives them an angry glare. ![]() That said if you want to play a savant type that could be a fun character to try and you might be able to bulk out those attributes through your careers. ![]() |

![]() I know you didn't have amazing luck with the dice but I can see an interesting viable character there. Looking forward to see how you write her up! |

Note - if anyone has the Gambler skill they get DM+1 to cash benefit rolls when mustering out.
Also, I can attest to Traveller combat being lethal. Consider that your END + STR + DEX is your HP total (well, END first, the the other two in whichever order you want). Now consider that a run of the mill laser rifle does 5d6 damage per hit before Effect or other mods. Which is how the shiny new Pirates of Drinax character I spent hours making ended up 2 points from permanent death on the first attack roll of that game. Those END checks get tricky once you're at 0 END and are rolling at -3.

Further wondering on my part as I couldn't determine from the info provided in either the ship shares or ship cost sections. If someone pulls a ship share, can that be applied to a ship that another character gains through their benefits? Just asking for a friend, ya know?

The lifepath went well, looks like I am writing a background for a very disgruntled and aggressively opinionated medical professional who has spent his entire life dodging multiple enemies he made as a young scientist who refused to participate in questionable military experiments. Throughout that life he has become an expert in biologic and cybernetic science but always under the shadow of his past engagements. A short tempered but highly trained and disciplined doctor. I will do a full writeup for him when I have time in the next few days.
