Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
You currently have 4 Imbuement skills. 4 skills only on Imbuement would save you 4 points, 9 if you were willing to go down to 3 skills and build them up later.
You only have one level of Dual Weapon, giving you a skill of 11 + Accuracy. You could hold that off for later development as well, saving 2 points.

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
I got rid of dual Weapon and off-hand training. Switched my main weapon to Rifles, and did some other things.
I also managed to convince the GM to let me start out at the experience level of the rest of the party in return for helping him with some renovations. So that gives me 14 points to work with. I will be buying more Imbue skills with that experience. So i'm not going to limit my Imbue to 4 or 3 skills only. However maybe I could limit to Rifles and Pistols only. Anyone know how much that modifier would be? Also I could limit Gunslinger to Rifles and Pistols only how much would that modifier be? |

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
I'd suggest keeping Off-Hand Training. It's only 1 point, and it's sometimes easier to justify having it at character creation rather than buying it later. It's still useful on its own, since it means if your main hand is ever damaged (or just busy - sometimes you don't want to drop your flashlight!), you can still shoot just fine with the off-hand.

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
I wouldn't limit Gunslinger like that at all, especially when it goes with the Gun! wildcard, having it apply to rifles and not shotguns or carbines and not submachine guns seems difficult to explain.

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
Just to note... if you really want to cut some costs... you could do this:
Start with: Gunslinger (Desert Eagle* Only, -80%) [5] Imbuement 2 (Desert Eagle* Only, -80%; Magical, -10%) [4]† Then after earning 7 points upgrade to: Gunslinger (Semi-Automatic Pistol Only, -60%) [10] Imbuement 2 (Semi-Automatic Pistol , -60%; Magical, -10%) [6] Then with 9 more points... Gunslinger (Pistol Only, -40%) [15] Imbuement 2 (Pistol Only, -40%; Magical, -10%) [10] Then with 5 more points... Gunslinger (Pistols and Rifles Only, -30%) [18] Imbuement 2 (Pistols and Rifles Only, -30%; Magical, -10%) [12] And then finish up at... Gunslinger (Guns Only, -20%) [20] Imbuement 2 (Guns Only, -20%; Magical, -10%) [14] Or even start anywhere in that series that fits your budget and wants (I mean "Pistols and Rifles Only" frees up 10 points right there!). * Deagle chosen as representational only. If you went SCAR-H, it would be "SCAR-H Only", then "CQB Rifle Only", then "Rifle Only", etc. † Cost beak limited at -80% obviously, even then it hits -90%. |

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
Correct. I arrived at that via Accessibility from Power-Ups 8: Limitations. 2 categories of 9 is 22% of the time*, thus... -30%.
* Granted if SMGs, LMGs, LAWs, and Gyrocs are likely to be rare, then this shouldn't be -30%. It would be 50% of the time (or even 75% if the grenade launcher is likewise 'rareish') and thus drop to -15% (or -10%). But that's a GM call. |

Re: [Monster Hunter] I Need Help With Character Generation!
Alright, so I stuck with just using the Guns only limitation on Imbue and Gunslinger. Bought all the athletic skills i needed, and did some other stuff. I need one skill point so that I can keep off-hand weapon training. I guess i'm going to start looking at quirks. Anybody got any ideas on some quirks i could take that work with my character idea? All I have are the ones in the basic set. But I believe there's a whole book dedicated to them.
