Lars?  :P

Oh, wait, he's only got +1 Cha. That's strange.
Yeah, I haven't leveled up yet, so I was thinking if I should put my points in charisma to go +2 and join Joker...

But it's a newbie friendly mission. Going there will either make things too easy in the best case or up the difficulty tremendously in the worst case.
Not to mention that we have to do morally questionable things to humans, which Flint would be really conflicted about.
Which means I shouldn't go.

So I think it would be best if a 0 mission character changed his/her stats to have a +1 or even +2 charisma?

EDIT: Yeah, just checked and all the volunteers have -1 and -2 charisma. The best is Aoshima's with 0 charisma and 3 points in it.
Everyone is taking charisma as a dump stat, it seems.

I could move the -1 of charisma somewhere else and move the +1 intuition or Dexterity to charisma.

Any suggestions on what to move the -1 to?

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

It would guarantee you a spot on the mission if you put a +1 or +2 in charisma, since nobody else has that.
EDIT: Then again, if that drunk-like effect is permanent... Well, let's hope you need charisma for looking beautiful and not for speaking

A quirk of my insistence of giving him +3 Fate.  I should probably fix that... maybe even should have started going there with M20.  Hmm...


But yeah, Lars will go whereever the commanders want him.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I would think that it's more of a passive thing, and if she takes her time she won't be swearing like a drunk sailor.

Any suggestions on where to move that -1?

That depends on what you want to die from.
-1 intuition means you'll die because either you touched something you shouldn't had or went through a door you shouldn't had or a teammate did something stupid and you failed to notice it in time to react
-1 fate means that you died because when that grenade exploded the shrapnel were attracted to you for some reason or you lost a game of dice with death
-1 endurance means you died because the universe hates your squishy body
-1 mind means you died because aliens mindraped you, optionally making you kill the rest of the people on your team or because you weren't smart enough to solve that logical puzzle to unlock the door in time.

If you were only going on this mission, I'd suggest -1 mind, because you are less likely to contact mindrape and I'm pretty sure fast talking someone only requires charisma and perhaps general knowledge, not mind. However, in that case, you'd need to put a few points into Mind if you want to go to those kinds of alien mindrape missions in the future. But if this mission lasts longer than a normal one like piecewise said it might, you're likely to get a double level up and thus gain the ability to bring this to +1 if you want. Or just try to avoid missions that sound like they have mindfuck.

You could also put -1 in Endurance if you trust your teammates and your luck to keep you safe until the end of the mission or intuition if you think your teammates will be watching your back and providing you with intelligence and information. It's all about working as a team in Joker missions.

Looking through the stats of the volunteers, most of them are either +1 or average on intuition, so as long as Anita lets everyone else go first it should be fine.

Officially moving the +1 intuition to charisma, and the -1 charisma to intuition. I'll make the change myself.

Any advice on what mission I should go on? I don't want to leave up to potentially random choice, but I'm not particularly suited for any of them. I'm kind of interested in the joker mission, but I'm not sure if I'd be very useful.

Don't go on the one that's for much better armed people if you can help it is my advice. Seems, however, that with your -1 Mind and Intuition you'd probably best steer clear of mind-altering alternate dimensions, however.

I can see problems with an aggressive alcoholic and an insane person together, we would make a good team but if it requires stealth....actually I take it back, we should work together!
