Are they? I'll check the PDF later.
Education will help you with tests involving memory or recalling information,
I meant more in RL. Not exactly the same, so even if the mechanics are similar calling them by different names makes sense.
So I basically know everything about the old world. Neat.
ah, I see. yes thwy're technically different, though mechanically their practically identical. they just add more dice to your pool to show that you are shooting more bullets.
you at least have a good chance too

Tactics can be used to-Name: Michael "Kal" Skirata
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 140 lb
Mercenary company: Ash Brigade
Appearance: Short dark hair, dark eyes, medium tan. His height and lean build makes him appear non-threatening. Being the subject of his stare is unnerving.
Background: Never the most athletic or studious of children, Michael's innate talents with weapons was discovered by recruiters from the Ash Brigade at an early age, and his fate was sealed. He has been molded into a hunter of men, and as such is comfortable in his own solitude. Assigned to the expedition by his superiors, Michael will perform his duties without complaint because it is the only life he has ever known.

EDIT: @Dust and echoes This is pretty much done, although I may switch some skills (like Mechanics) around.
- Can you give a couple of examples of how Tactics would be used in and out of combat?
- On page 23 of the PDF, there are scenarios for how to deal with a grenade being thrown at you, but the dice pool is purely Coordination. Would it make sense for Coordination+Athletics to kick it away, Coordination+Throw to catch and throw it back, Coordination+Run to try to dash out of the blast zone?
- How would shooting a grenade out of somebody's hand work?
Is talking a free action, and do we have short range radios / communicators? (I.e, somebody succeeds in a tactics roll and wants to let everyone know where the bad guys are coming from; or if I spot some enemies trying to sneak up on somebody far away who is unaware)
This system seems pretty flexible. I can imagine throwing a boulder or a desk requiring body + throw since its heavy and requires body to even pick it up. But for grenades I can see either body + throw (if you're going for distance or delivering a fastball) or coordination + throw (if you're using hand eye coordination when aiming for a specific location or trying to bounce it off a wall or something).
shinies!)
Talking is indeed a free action, similar to dnd, just keep the length of what your saying reasonable.
Could you extend that background a bit please?
Yes, as you complete major events or get to certain plot points you will either be awarded outright stat points or gear that raises your stats.
If you want, I'll let you default to two dice, so you can at least attempt it,

Am I a nice gm or what?
I'm not giving you a free dice, I'm just allowing you to roll. Even if you get a double, now it's got to be a higher double than normal.
That makes a lot of sense, and it's still more than you would get from the base game. Thanks anyway!
