Not precisely an oversight, I prefer keeping knowledge skills as being whatever you think your character would know, having just one is silly! Just my opinion, easy enough for people to list a skill!

Definitely an approach I can agree with. Having only a single knowledge skill just feels too limiting to me as well.

[Tecumseh]

I don't want to derail the thread too much but I'm considering a house rule where players would receive multiple free knowledge skills. In my head it's something like 5:

1 street or academic knowledge skill
1 professional knowledge skill
1 interest/hobby knowledge skill
1 area knowledge skill
1 extra language

Third Edition also had an interesting rule where if you had an active skill at rating 4+ then you automatically had the associated knowledge skill at Rating minus 3. Obviously Anarchy doesn't have ratings for knowledge skills but I thought it was a good guideline for what the character might know even if they don't have a specific knowledge skill.

Now, back to the thread previously in progress:

@Aria, Hellion's Strength is 6. Damage is Strength/2 damage rounded up, so you could move Strength to 5 without giving up any damage. If you move that die into Logic you would lose out a bit on Athletics but would gain an extra die for extra Perception and Dodging. That might be useful for a Stealthy character who gets up close and personal with danger.

As for Requiem, I believe the consensus from this thread is that the Move-by-Wired amp should only be -1 Essence, not -2. That ruling makes sense to me, as it helps balance cybered characters with their Awakened counterparts. Otherwise, a cybered character could drop their entire Essence in one super-amp and not have as much to do with their other amp slots, unlike the Awakened who will happily fill and upgrade all amp slots until their karma runs out.

Love how easy it is to create characters!!!

Mr. Anderson worked for the USAF back in '05 during the second korean war, and was installed with then bleeding edge rigger tech. He didn't know it at the time, but he was amped up on aggression drugs. This led to a brutal incident with his wife. After a botched attempt at using drones to assassinate the leader of North Korea, his implant malfunctioned almost lethally, and he was cryogenically frozen in the hopes the government could recoup their investment in the future when medical technology had improved. In the break up of the US years later, the program was lost, and eventually his and many other cryo-perserved bodies were re-awakened by a sadistic opportunist. With the aide of his daughter, who is now many years older than he is, he escaped and is seeking to find a spot in the sixth world. Free of the aggression drugs, and reunited with his long lost daughter, he has become much more optomistic and is looking for a few 'Hood runs.

You can have more than one attribute at max and Will 4 doesn't provide you any benefit, so boost that Logic to 6?
You've got 8 different skills plus your Knowledge (which I love btw). You need to drop 3 of them barring house rules.
There is no penalty for defaulting in Anarchy and you already have Agility 6, so you could drop some of your 3 weapon skills and bump your rigger skills up.
If you're bothered specialities are cheaper than skills post-chargen, although I suppose it doesn't matter unless you want to arm your Gopher.

I assume you're wearing a Lined Coat/Kiss the Cook Apron, so all your totals check out. Welcome to Anarchy
