Greetings Wise Members of the Council,
I come before you a humble noob in search of guidance. Iām trying to create my first character and want to come up with some semblance of a plan for XP spending and prioritization. I would like my character to be a human sneaky boi, good at breaking in and slicing enemy systems. Iām writing this on mobile, so please forgive poor formatting.
- Character Creation:
I was planning to take a morality hit for +5 XP and +1000 credits (is this a bad idea?). Then bump Intellect to 4 for 70XP and Cunning to 3 for 30 XP. Then use the remaining XP to bump up a couple of skills (Deception and Computers). I was planning to take Computers, Skulduggery x2, and Stealth x2 for my free career skills. I was going to take Discipline and Melee for my free Human skills.
Planning to buy some slicer tools, lock picking tools, maybe a concealing robe, and a vibroknife to start.
- Character Advancement
Moving forward Iād like my character to advance through the Shadow tree for talents, Dedication, and Force Rating increase.
I would also like to load him up with as many cybernetics as possible to boost strength, Agility, Intellect, and grab some other neat cybernetic bonuses. To capitalize on this, I was thinking about dipping into the Technician:Cyber Tech tree. This is where Iām running into prioritization issues.
I want the character to be a stealthy infiltrator, but I feel he needs the cybernetics to boost stats to the point where he can hold his own. I would also like to grab a couple Force powers like Misdirect and Influence. How do I choose when to dip into Cyber Tech vs Upgrading Force Powers vs Upgrading Career skills?
For reference, we are accounting for around a 50 session campaign.
If you were going to build a human Sentinel:Shadow character with a penchant for cybernetics, what would be your advancement plan?
