Ame (May 15, 2011 11:57:33 PM)
Okay. So.

Ame (May 15, 2011 11:57:35 PM)
Don't kill me.

Ame (May 15, 2011 11:57:36 PM)
But.

Ame (May 15, 2011 11:57:51 PM)
Being a detective, I actually have to collaborate with EG on this sanctioning.

Ame (May 15, 2011 11:58:09 PM)
Beacuse there are certain rules for what Detectives need.

James Drake (May 15, 2011 11:58:42 PM)
Yeah I think I met them.

James Drake (May 15, 2011 11:58:51 PM)
the sheet needs a certian amount of stuff.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:08:55 AM)
wrong button

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:11:05 AM)
Welcome back.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:11:08 AM)
Okay. So.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:11:23 AM)
so?

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:12:20 AM)
I personally won't allow the Perception 4. The background does not warrant that high a level of Perception. You are overspent by 1 freebie as well.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:13:18 AM)
Ok.....hmmm guess I will go re write the background and...well that stinks...I'll figure something to cut.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:13:57 AM)
well precp 3 i guess is a good start.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:14:00 AM)
I still have to run it by EG, though.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:14:11 AM)
That would give you an additional 4 freebies. =)

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:14:30 AM)
Instead of being 1pt over. I would suggest maybe influence with police.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:14:42 AM)
And possibly a dot in computers.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:14:50 AM)
Since you're often going to be working on a computer.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:15:21 AM)
Yeah that makes sense..I never figure in computers...so much a part of every day life.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:15:33 AM)
Really is. Amazingly so.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:16:09 AM)
think I should have contacts but just not enough points.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:17:03 AM)
Other than that, the sheet looks pretty good and balanced. I might suggest a few other tweaks as well, though it's difficult when making a police officer of any kind.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:17:17 AM)
yeah

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:17:34 AM)
just not enough points in a starting character to reflect what would be real life

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:17:51 AM)
I would honestly pull a dot out of Charisma (you don't have to be super nice ;-) ) and put at least one dot in Empathy, and maybe another in Streetwise or Subterfuge.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:18:06 AM)
It really isn't. Not for anyone above 18 *chuckles*

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:18:37 AM)
yeah...but then the book does state you can throw out the rules >.>

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:19:24 AM)
But we don't throw out the rules. =)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:19:31 AM)
lol

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:20:27 AM)
can't pull a dot from charisma.....thats the base dots.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:20:32 AM)
or I thought it was.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:20:44 AM)
Nope. You spend freebies there.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:20:55 AM)
uhm....3/5/7

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:21:04 AM)
Mortals are 6/4/3

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:21:21 AM)
Oh....ooooppppsssss

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:21:30 AM)
=)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:21:31 AM)
that was not intended.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:21:42 AM)
You were way off on points, then.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:21:50 AM)
yeah

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:22:18 AM)
Been a long time since I made a charcter.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:22:27 AM)
By my calculation, you were only 1 point over, but Mortals also get 21 freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:22:38 AM)
So that may be why it was off the way it was.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:22:45 AM)
yup.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:22:58 AM)
so get rid of the point in charisma. get 5 more freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:23:07 AM)
I think you can still edit your sheet.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:23:10 AM)
I think.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:23:15 AM)
ok

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:23:31 AM)
yeah

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:24:12 AM)
Go ahead and make the changes. I'mma chat with EG on it because I still have to clear it with her.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:24:32 AM)
influence 1 or 2 points?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:25:24 AM)
cause I got 3 to play wiht and influence with legal bueuracracy and police sound good.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:26:08 AM)
Lessee ... you have 4 points total from the dot we're pulling from Perc ... backgrounds are 1 each.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:26:19 AM)
ok./

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:26:35 AM)
and I have the 5 from the charisma.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:26:37 AM)
I would put one in Police, and one in Bureaucracy.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:26:43 AM)
Then put a dot in Computers.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:27:02 AM)
yup and 1 in street wise

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:27:07 AM)
for 2 total.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:27:13 AM)
Abilities cost 2 freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:27:14 AM)
Not 1.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:27:20 AM)
Backgrounds cost 1 freebie. =)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:27:41 AM)
Ok..time out for a sec......you counted the charisma as 5 freebies as well.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:27:44 AM)
With the 5 from Charisma, I would put a dot in Empathy and a dot in either Subterfuge or Streetwise to take 4 of those, and then use the last dot for maybe a contact or something.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:27:55 AM)
Yes.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:27:58 AM)
Ok

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:09 AM)
Yes empathy streetwise and computers.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:28:11 AM)
You had 4 from Perception because you were one freebie -over- the total.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:11 AM)
for 6

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:14 AM)
with 3 left.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:28:20 AM)
Yes.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:29 AM)
police bureacracy

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:35 AM)
and legal for DA and what not

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:28:36 AM)
So 2 into influences and 1 into contacts or allies.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:28:41 AM)
ok

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:29:16 AM)
who would a contact be someone in the DAs office?

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:30:06 AM)
Yeah, that could work.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:30:10 AM)
Or maybe someone at the DMV

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:30:17 AM)
Or the County Clerk's Office. =)

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:30:20 AM)
Those are all handy!

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:30:40 AM)
No no I got it....the Morgue the Corornor.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:31:15 AM)
What better way to get information about murders people want hushed as 'accidents'

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:31:17 AM)
right?

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:31:38 AM)
Indeed!

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:32:03 AM)
what's the head guy called?

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:33:13 AM)
The Medical Examiner?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:33:18 AM)
Duh..

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:33:33 AM)
sso contact is an Me in the Coroner's office.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:34:07 AM)
ok changed made.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:34:08 AM)
Just put the contact as the head ME.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:34:26 AM)
The ME is the one who determines the official cause of death.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:36:00 AM)
Done.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:40:27 AM)
Okay. Let me go refresh!

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:47:22 AM)
afk

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:52:44 AM)
Hrm.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:52:48 AM)
My math isn't adding up.

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:52:49 AM)
One minute.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 12:53:41 AM)
uhm....ok

Ame (May 16, 2011 12:59:59 AM)
Did you add something that wasn't there before?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:00:32 AM)
I did 1 street wise, 1 empathy, 1 computer, 1 police, 1 bearu, 1 contact

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:01:03 AM)
Hrm.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:02:00 AM)
want me to reset the abilities and stuff to 0 and redo do them without freebies

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:02:04 AM)
then do freebies?

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:06 AM)
Because I have you at 4 overspent and I don't remember you having quite as many knowledges. Are the linguistics new?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:02:15 AM)
nope.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:02:22 AM)
I had linguistics 2

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:22 AM)
*Grumbles* I'm sorry, then.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:30 AM)
I must have missed something. -.-

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:35 AM)
You don't need to reset anything.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:02:44 AM)
might be easier.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:47 AM)
But the sheet is four overspent.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:49 AM)
Nah.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:02:53 AM)
This is what I have ...

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:03:01 AM)
Freebies: Talents [8], Skills [4], Knowledges [10], Backgrounds [3] = 25

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:03:32 AM)
what's the base for abilities maybe I spent to much orriginally?

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:03:41 AM)
Should be 11/ 7/4

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:04:02 AM)
You can double check my count if you would like, but I have you at 15/6/12

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:04:04 AM)
skills I spent 4 in.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:04:10 AM)
Yep.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:04:16 AM)
drive 2 firearms 2

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:04:30 AM)
Yep.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:09 AM)
skills was 7 alert ath brawl = 2 each (6) and expression 1 for 7

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:33 AM)
then knowledges 11

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:40 AM)
academics 2

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:44 AM)
investigation 3

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:53 AM)
law 3

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:05:58 AM)
medicine 1

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:06:14 AM)
linguistics 2

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:06:17 AM)
=11

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:06:26 AM)
everything else is extra

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:06:31 AM)
+ computer 1 = 12.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:06:39 AM)
that was freebie

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:06:58 AM)
security 1 and stealth 1 freebies for 6 total

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:07:00 AM)
Okay, doesn't matter where the original points were.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:07:34 AM)
I go highest to lowest for where the points go. You have 15 in Talents, 6 in Skills, and 12 in Computers.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:08:06 AM)
Which puts the spread at 11 for Talents. 15 - 11 = 4; 4 x 2 = 8 freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:08:32 AM)
4 for Talents, so 6 - 4 = 2; 2 x 2 = 4 freebies.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:08:53 AM)
ok lets start over from abilities down. I am going to get rid of it all. and then redo without freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:09:04 AM)
12 for Knowledges, so 12 - 7 = 5; 5 x 2 = 10 freebies.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:09:06 AM)
Nonono.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:09:09 AM)
You don't need to do that.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:09:15 AM)
All we have to do is remove 2 dots.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:10:07 AM)
Let's remove one from Linguistics, as it's superfluous, and maybe one from Athletics.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:10:22 AM)
Those seem to be the best places to take out of.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:11:55 AM)
Hello?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:12:18 AM)
I was just looking things over. Sorry don't mean to make this more complicated than it has all ready become.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:12:40 AM)
You're fiiiiiine!

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:12:49 AM)
I feel bad that I somehow screwed up my math the first time around!

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:14:33 AM)
So, would taking those two points be alright for you?

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:15:05 AM)
Maybe....probably....just let me add up here real quick.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:15:10 AM)
Alright. =)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:17:54 AM)
actually it's worse....just in abilities I have 22 freebies

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:18:03 AM)
not conting contacts 1

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:18:08 AM)
and the 2 in influence.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:18:15 AM)
You have a total of 25 Freebies spent.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:18:23 AM)
yeah.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:18:25 AM)
Abilities cost two freebies for each dot.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:18:40 AM)
my math agrees with your math

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:18:48 AM)
So removing 2 dots, would effectively remove 4 freebies, putting you exactly at 21, which is where we want you to be. =)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:19:23 AM)
You under stand my reluctance to do so don't you? seems rather balanced at the moment.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:19:45 AM)
Yes, but you are overspent. So the dots have to come from somewhere.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:19:54 AM)
but yes linguistics would be a place.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:20:05 AM)
If you want to remove all your linguistics, you may do that as well.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:20:15 AM)
I was just making a suggestion so you wouldn't lose -all- of them.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:20:41 AM)
yeah both from linguistics

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:20:50 AM)
Alright.

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:21:23 AM)
ok updated

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:25:13 AM)
And you are presanctioned!

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:25:28 AM)
yay...now to just be fully sanctioned.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:25:34 AM)
Just waiting on EG

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:25:41 AM)
ok

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:25:56 AM)
But I left her a note =)

James Drake (May 16, 2011 1:26:09 AM)
yay....now to wait.

Ame (May 16, 2011 1:26:10 AM)
If you want to relog, you should have a checkmark.
