i thouhgt you already bought or at least got offered the skillswap?

its the 5 token brainwashy type thing that lets you swap two skills around.
but its 5 tokens per swap...
Hmm. Not really what I'd want then.

Unless it can do a transfer of just a +1 from one skill to another? But that'd be expensive.

If I could use it to bootstrap myself to +5 Med, I'm interested, essentially.

You can also pay to move statpoints around, one token per five points.

Nik just told me on irc it was 1 token for +5.

So pretty cheap for a noob getting that extra skill up on his second mission before increasing his main skill, but more expensive for more tactical stuff.


Damn metacancer ninja.

Absolutely profit!  After all, we're just going to be talking to some people about coming with us.  Right??

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

If I understood correctly, this is one of the final ER missions. Do people in the infirmary mission miss out on it, or can the survivors get belatedly deployed as reinforcements?

activate pocket dimension, Manifest ID.

hide from manifestation in pocket dimension if shit goes sideways.

Well, everyone should probably hold their gear tightly. Not that it'll help in the end.

Err, just enough to make this a fair trade (and you almost certainly got the better deal).  I'm sure 4 will be dead soon, so don't worry about being swindled or anything.

Wiki updated.

And it's the most avoidable stat, you can pretty much avoid ever using it since you can always just type out your own dialogue. And this is coming from the person who plays someone specialized in Charisma with a +4.

Oh snap! Someone specced in Cha more than I did?

4 has someone who kinda cares whether they die that slightly increases their survival don't count em dead yet.

Yep! Didn't really think he'd even survive his first mission. But I guess cautious play and having a remotely-controlled turret does wonders for survival rates :D

I may have to get demigod touch, that and the... shapeshifting mask and cape along with an mk3 is my late game goal now. Superspy build here we go! XAN I AM NOT ENCROUCHING ON YOUR TERRITORY PLEASE DON'T MARK ME FOR DEATH. I HAVE MERELY FOUND THESE ITEMS USEFUL FOR A CHA BUILD

Yeah, the knowledge of when to retreat really helps the survival rate of charisma builds

Aww well, my characters never last long.  I will try to keep her alive, but I seem to not be very good at that.  We'll see.
