Skills

This is something that I feel would work great here: characters having skills based on what they did before the outbreak, such as gunslinging, skating, driving, free-running/parkour that would give people a certain sense of who to go to when they need a certain thing. While I'm not suggesting some BS 20 point system, I'm suggesting something that would make it so people would have a better sense of who they're going to, and just quite what the other person is going to do. Take my character for example, he would fit in the scout area, and skills I'd include with such would probably be stealth, marksmanship, parkour/free-running, skating, biking, etc. Another thing to say would be these guys who run around with swords to use offensively, they would have skills such as longevity in combat, strikes that cut deep due to the strength required to handle a sword, etc, etc, etc.

How are the points going to be distrubited?
I think I spelled that right... But yeah, just curious.

Each Role playing post is considered 1 point I believe. Once you receive 20, you can goto the next tier of weaponry.

Skills I am iffy about. I would love to get technical, but my D20 or DnD based terminology is at low levels of understanding. Basically, your own personal abilities should be at your discretion. If your character can shoot really well, then fine have at it. If hes an ace marksmen, then have at your cup of tea. But be a bit reasonable, don't make him an ace marksmen, a demolition expert, medical provisionalist, and some kind of strategic mastermind overall aspects of everything. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, it is really upto the RPer to decide.

Okay.

Hmm. Well the only thing would be about my guy is he would be a Marksman, not expert but to the point with the Bow. He probable won't use any actual guns unless he has too... But yeah. I get what your saying.

Thanks.
