Think it is a mixed bag. Easy come, easy go. Community requires commitment. We'll just have to see how it works out. Commitment comes with how much fun we make this RP Community. I'd much rather have that burden, then have to depend on how fun Cryptic is making it. Being old NWN Girl that is. Chicken and the egg. NWN is not a MMO, the game nature itself filtered by the community that made it a community. It took committed individuals to set up and run and administer the private servers and sessions and network with others. It took people that had NWN actually have to actively involve themselves in the community and look for these private servers to become a part of. A F2P mainstream MMO has no such filtering. What you are saying Ny is like a marriage stays together in how much fun the couple have. The fun equals the commitment. I tend to believe commitment is what keeps things together when the fun goes away for a time and holds things together until the fun comes back. It is distinguishing mark of character, because the person is holding himselves to something. Fun does not equal commitment.

The Valiant is a bit different. It has a small crew compliment. approximately 50 and the commanding officer is a Lt Commander. So alot of bending in rank and training can be done for positions. The guide and character sheet section give a GM and players standard guidelines to use, but there is flexibility too.
Hopefully your GM will chime in and provide guidance, though if you are happy with your character background and sheet as is, and prefer to develop through time and role playing then I cannot see forcing Department Head schooling in as hindsight..might be more fun for season 5 or later transition.

Ver 1.3 Lots of changes. Hopefully, for the better. Take a look-see at the attached file below. Think the board have a proxy block up Ethan or certain ISP or Networks do. Response denied by WatchGuard HTTP proxy. Reason: header 'Content-Type' denied rule='Default' value='download/attachment' Method: GET Host: daedalusomega.proboards.comPath: /index.cgi?action=downloadattachment&board=oocboard&thread=2523&post=9906&key=ZZMQckHPLqJg6s6wLSEy And Brian I think the spread sheet effort is more for everyone, not directed specifically at anyone.

Oh Ethan, where I saw the issue with Advanced training is as such... you had 70 total points.
ADVANCE STUDY Applies to both Enlisted and Officer Characters*
In addition to the regular coursework at the Academy, each Cadet has opportunities to take advanced training in the topics he studies. The number of skills that may be improved depends on the character's Mind score. After determining the number of skills that may be advanced, choose which skills they are. Any skill already on a character's skill list may be chosen, and skills may be chosen more than once to improve them even further.
To find how many skills may be improved, divide the Mind score by 10, round up, and add 5. Improve all these skills by +5.
so yours was 70/10=7 7+5=12 so 12 (+5) skills allocation at 60 total
Under Branch school
ADVANCE TRAINING (Again) (Applied to Enlisted & Officer Characters)* As with other training at the Academy, a character has a chance to take advanced classes in Branch School and thus to advance his skills while he is studying there. The character may improve up to 5 skills he already has in any area. These skills gain +5 improvement. The remainder of his advanced training will be in skills he learned in Branch School.
The number of Branch School skills a character improves depends on his Mind Score. To find this number, subtract 50 from the character's Mind dividing by 10, and round down. Each skill chosen must be one the character learned or improved in Branch School; the Skill Rating for each is increased by 10 points.
(this section could use better wording)
It is 5 skill at +5 25 total 70-50=20/10=2 2 at +10 20 total
Acadamy section gave you 12 at +5 or 60 total points Branch section gave you 5 at +5 and 2 at 10 total of 45 points for you Advanced training

Did your GM rule if a full joined trill was allowed or not? Currently GM Q administers your sheet

I know several of you asked and there has been confusion, so the official word is: until further notice 22nd is based at Earth Space Dock.

Welcome aboard the Valiant. Her current event time is Sunday 5 pm EST and typically lasts 3 hours. Please make sure you make use of the Fleet interface and sign up for you event in game. I am GM Cygnus and I will get you settled and going this Sunday August the 21st, after that GM Kah will be taking over moving forward. The Valiant is currently in the middle of the mission, so I plan to just assume you have been on board, indisposed with a medical emergency, but that crisis is over and you are ready to be part of the action. Sound good? If you have any question , comments, or concerns, please ask. The ship specific board is located at: daedalusomega.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ussodysseyPlease familiarize yourself with the content there and use it as a resource of in and out of charatcer information and dialog with shipmates on the forum. ~cyg
