Well he did say if Harb and Hax don't show he'll run with 8 for easier management.

Burns mostly healed, arms functioning acceptably, character rolling.

Hmmmm. Huggles the friendly Techpriest it is. It may not be able to see where you are, but if it can stumble into you it has plenty of limbs for the hugging.

[Caellath]

Did Huggles read Magos Klines' reference tomes on initiating conversation with the uninitiated? Because I think hugs aren't there.

Spoiler: Huggles the Tech-Priest (click to show/hide)

Character: Amets Ziel Guiomar Ferrer
Player: Harbingerjm
Regiment: Sixteenth Barrablancan Conquistador Recon Regiment
Speciality: Tech-Priest Enginseer
Description:
Background: A former Conquistador, Amets was never the most skilled of combatants, and got along mostly through a winning personality, applied intelligence, and the ability to fix things, be it people, their possessions, or the occasional duel.
Indeed, Amets managed to gather up enough goodwill and respect that when a poorly-aimed musket shot struck a superior officer, a hasty bandage, an elaborate apology, and an offer to pay for the repairs to his armour were enough for the officer to overlook the incident. Mostly. When the Imperium came along and started recruiting, the officer promptly threw Amets' name into the list of candidates suitable to receive sufficient training in the useage of basic Imperial technology to assist in the raising of local Guard regiments.
Whether this "volunteering" was out of genuine belief that Amets would be fit for the role or a desire to not have a soldier with poor aim standing behind him in the firing lines, Amets didn't really care; Imperial tech, with its priestly guardians, was fascinating, the opportunity for advancement and improvement was gratifying, and lasguns were so much better than muskets. Taking to the training programs (and associated politics) with considerable zeal, Amets recieved several cybernetic enhancements to aid in data retention and use, and was eventually inducted into the (very lowest) ranks of the priesthood and assigned to one of the newly-formed Imperial Conquistador Regiments.

I note we still have the basic Flak vest (assuming Powder Miner didn't find something to get rid of it I missed), despite having better armour included in our basic gear list. Would it be possible to trade it in for a point-cost offset on the Carapace, Avis? Say, 8 points (the cost of adding a piece of gear of Average availability, ie the cost of the vest)?

Did Huggles read Magos Klines' reference tomes on initiating conversation with the uninitiated? Because I think hugs aren't there.

Nonsense, everyone knows being hugged by part-mechanical tentacle cultists is the best way to brighten a day.

NO SOLDIER IT IS PART OF YOUR BASIC KIT THE MERE THOUGHT IS HERESY HOW COULD YOU

On a different note, I don't think a tech-priest can be suspicious of machine spirits, or that one can complete tech-priest training without being able to read Gothic and Techna-lingua. So you should get the appropriate Linguistics traits and remove the suspicious talent.
The Linguistics thing also applies to the Progenium-educated Commissars and stormie, if you haven't done it already.

Regarding the suspicious trait, it doesn't really matter either way because Amets has training in the three skills it covers, so it doesn't apply.
As far as Gothic (Low or High) is concerned, I just figured that Amets has learned mostly through demonstration, with the aid of that handy-dandy Memorance unit. Of course, having a dataslate I can't read is kind of hilarious, and it does make sense that at least someone in the regiment needs to be able to write (because paperwork, duh) (plus, given that almost every Homeworld is supposed to have it by default, it makes sense it would be left out of the skill list of classes that really should have it).
I don't think Techna Lingua is supposed to be included in the basic Tech Priest package, though; generally, like extensive augmentation or a grasp on fancy technological/mathematic concepts, you have more of it/are better at it the further up the heirarchy you go; a very junior Tech Priest like Amets can probably manage to send out a self-identification and maybe a few basic servitor commands and little else. Surely if it was supposed to be covered in basic training it would be included in the Techpriest starting skill list? I mean, you are the GM and what you say goes, but I honestly don't think my character should get the extra skill.

[Powder Miner]

oh hey
there ye are
Amets gon hug some muthafukkas

[Patrick Hunt]

I know me and Caellath changes to Schola Progenium and took the related skills I'm not sure if Digital did.

[Digital Hellhound]

Nah, I didn't. Though Fluency makes zero sense - I'll drop if the GM thinks it okay - I want to keep the rest of the world traits and bonuses. I'll let Caellath be Nerd Commissar.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Nah, I didn't. Though Fluency makes zero sense - I'll drop if the GM thinks it okay - I want to keep the rest of the world traits and bonuses. I'll let Caellath be Nerd Commissar.

Yeah, that should be okay.

@Harb: dang, I was sure techpriests got lingua-technis with the specialty. Yeah, it appears you're right.

[Patrick Hunt]

Well it gives me a reason to ignore your orders . A commissar who failed part of his training would be seen as even lower then an inquisitorial storm trooper by a stormie.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Well it gives me a reason to ignore your orders . A commissar who failed part of his training would be seen as even lower then an inquisitorial storm trooper by a stormie.

In fact, nah. It is not any soldier's place to judge whether a commissar is "proper" or not. You need only know that he is there and watching you - if he has the sash and the hat, then an Imperial authority has judged him worthy of them. Plus, ignoring his orders gives him a reason to ventilate your cranium.

Not sure what's so bad about Inquisitorial stormtroopers - an Ordo stormie's bound to be one of the best.

[Patrick Hunt]

They're outsiders who were granted training as storm troopers for political reasons. To the progena they're outsiders and inferiors who lack the personal traits to be one of them and are never accepted.
Which makes it lucky that they never join a squad after training.

A commissar who failed to complete training that even an inferior did would be seen as even worse by them.

[Powder Miner]

What part of his training do you think he failed? He's just keeping his world bonus, not declaring himself a failure.

[Patrick Hunt]

Part of Progena training is to make them highly educated and literate. He lacks that literacy which means he failed in a part of his training.
