Brandon, please change ONE of your level 1 skills to level 2 and you will be good to go.

Your martial arts skill at level 3 is a single attribute linked skill.  When you raise it to level 4 it will become a two attribute linked skill and then "advanced".  See AToW for tiered skills.

I think they are completed.

Ad Hoc, how's your son's character coming?  Anyone else going to add character histories?  Looking forward to finding out more about the unit.  Also, if people need help with information related to the Pentagon Worlds, or the available information about events to settle a background, I think I've got all the relevant resources and am willing to help.

We are having a hard time knowing what to do for back stories because we dont know any of the Battle Tech story history.

In general they look good. One thing you'll have to fix is the Weapon Specialist though.  It requires a Gunnery skill of 6 to get it, so if you don't put an A priority in Skills, it's out of reach for a starting character.

Love the choice of the Wolverine.  Probably my all time favorite mech, which I realize just makes me odd.  Of the 3025 variants, the 6M was definitely the best.

I'll try and post some highlights historywise this weekend to use as the basis for backgrounds.

what are the technician specifics?

The Technician subskills are: Aeronautics, Cybernetics, Electronics, Jets, Mechanical, Myomer, Nuclear, Weapons

If you wanted to be able to handle all the systems for a mech it'd be everything except Aeronautics and Cybernetics.  Jets might be optional if the mech wasn't jump capable.

Paul, thanks for the catch.

Mike, you will need to reconfigure a bit.  As Paul said, weapon spec needs gunnery skill level at 6.

Also, it was mentioned in the "in the Beginning" campaign & rules thread that spending xp for heavy and assault units applied to fighters as well.  I also mentioned somewhere [I can't find it at the moment] that the costs for fighters would be the same as mechs--based on tonnage.  ie  heavy fighters are 60-75 tons [costing 50 xp] and assault fighters are 80-100 tons [costing 100 xp] in addition to the custom vehicle fees.

Did I calculate the stock mech griffin correctly or would that actually be less?

Thanks Phil.  If Mike can provide the movement profiles for the custom Maurader and Wolverine II we'll be all set at least with basic unit info.
