Gotta say, I don't remember seeing anything in the Origin Path that could be bought with xp.

Into the Storm has those options and an Expanded Origin Path. Didn't you check it?

I did not! I figured Into the Storm was all about including xenos characters and adding new items.

I've got a couple hundred xp left...maybe I'll add a Lineage or something.

Alright, it's time to move to the next stage and get everything wrapped up.

Everyone's character sheet (except Powder Miner's, who I'm still waiting on) is linked-to in the second post. If you make changes to your character, please edit this sheet, don't post a new one in the thread. This is for ease of bookkeeping since Rogue Trader is a lot of bookkeeping.

Aseaheru's cool boat is approved. Park it in the garage next to the Basilisk.

Do we have a consensus on which ship yet? If not, you fellas need to decide.

The torchbearer Caellath statted out seems pretty good to me.

Note:
Add +1 to our profit factor if I'm in, due to my Trials/Travails of Lost Dynasty.
Also I assume being 'talented' in a skill makes it +10? I was already learned in Navigation (Warp) and my House choice makes it Talented.

First thing Tiruin, you didn't roll one too many. You're supposed to roll 10 times for characteristics, pick the best 9 then assign as you please, so that 17 should be part of the stat pool. You can swap your rolls around and put that 20 in one of your main Navigator stats if you want. And you only displaced the visible log, but there's a log button on the right side of the screen. And Talented is a Talent that gives you +10 to the chosen skill, independent from Skill level/mastery, remember to list it along your other talents.

Oh, and ask questions in new posts instead of editing them into your old ones. I nearly missed them.

Right, is it okay if it's posted tomorrow? I should be able to get most of the work on it done tonight but I'd prefer to have the time to write out fluff and stuff.

With or without the clan-kin quarters?

Here's a list with other ships. Most are pretty focused on one thing to the exclusion of all others (though I didn't include a commerce-focused ship, which I can do next time I post). The jack-of-all-trades and balanced choice this time is the Indecent Proposal. Edit: Proposal updated.
Chosen Ship:

So our main problem with a ship is that we get 90 Ship points+ starting profit factor. The Light cruiser was a great ship, but it ate up our profits like the cookie monster eats cookies. The normal maximum for rolls is 60, and it cost a bit more than that. So its not a *great* choice for a starting ship.


Alternatives: boost drive to Warcruiser (+4 Power, takes 2 more Space, costs 2 SP), downgrade Clemency to Vitae pattern (loses bonuses, frees up 2 Space), downgrade sunsear batteries (or just the broadsides) to Mars for slightly more room and more Power.

Edit: I have several other options and I'll post them later. Lunch time at the moment.

Before leaving for lunch, here's another one:

For the record, I think the "Indecent Proposal" would be our best choice for starting ship. It has all the out-of combat stuff as the LC, and we have almost 50 PF left over instead of almost 30.

You can swap your rolls around--the choices are either (Point Buy) or (Roll and Assign).

XP works like this: After choosing origin path and career, you are automatically at 4500 XP. You can then spend up to 500 XP on origin path stuff such as bionics.
Afterward, you can add 2000 xp of Rank 1 advances, bringing you up to Rank 2.

So you can spend a max total of 2500 XP on advances.
Thank you much! :D

Ten times with 9 stats? I thought I misrolled too much ._. but thank you! :D I didn't know you can swap around either \o/ Thank you too!

Gotta say, I don't remember seeing anything in the Origin Path that could be bought with xp.
Into The Storm also has added equipment/armory options :3

Expect a finished sheet within less than 5 hours since this time of posting, thanks all!
What're people meaning by acquisition and how is the starting profit factor done before any characters are picked?

Also wow Cael ._. Those are very nicely organized ship sheets. I'm very awed.

Yes. Like Stirk said the Torchbearer is a very good vessel but it's far too expensive for our budget and would leave our PF pretty low, so I came up with some other alternatives. If we want to stick to a balanced and cautious approach to our future endeavors, we take either the Frigate I posted earlier or the Indecent Proposal, either of which can undergo a few further tweaks. They can defend themselves pretty effectively and make cash at the same time while leaving us with a healthy PF, which's a win-win.

And thanks, Tiruin.

Basically the way we are doing it is that you get to choose one acquisition with +0 or less for free without having to roll for it. Common items are also free.

As much as I can carry of common+? :P

Also!
I haven't made a personal acquisition yet because of so many choices of Scarce quality (or Poor/Rare) ._.
Also can I buy a Navigator Power? (Rank 2 Navigator advances; page 61)
As I'm unsure how much I can buy unless those are one-off purchases?
