You start with 5% accuracy in firearms, then can get +25 for basic firearms training, +25 for pistol/shotgun training, and +10% for advanced pistol/shotgun for a total of 65% chance to hit.

The Fireaxe starts at 10%, +15% for hand-to-hand, and +15% for axe proficiency for a total to-hit chance of 40%.

Once you get hand-to-hand combat, you'll want a fire axe for melee damage and crowbar for tearing down barricades.

Nah. The teams are just a matter of priority not of proscription. Being on the Support Team means that you prioritize healing and rezzing over fighting not that you should never fight. (Same attitude toward skills.)

Not likely to get hand to hand or firearms use until level four or five though...

Cheers for the extra info biccat. Nice to know.

Excellent work there Grakmar!

Thanks for doing that Grak, i was just about to ask if someone should do something similar every few days to keep us updated on general goings on.

That's my plan!

Oh nice, yeah like the list. Think there might be two there I need to add to the wall or orange when I get home.

No idea why I picked orange for the contacts.

I updated the OP to reflect your work and will continue to do so.

I guess if I were more ambitious I'd start a new character. But I'm not.

Been kind of waiting to see where I'm needed. If we need more combat personnel, I can do that. If we need support, I'll do that. I certainly don't need the XP.

Haha same. Although anyone without the group added are demoted to yellow.

Yeah, I'd say do what you feel is needed. The Teams are as much about leveling as anything else so it's not really applicable to your character.

Biccat could be quite useful in keeping zombies out of harraway and the hospitals for us supports.

I'm outside Harraway at -4 AP. I'll take a needle if you got one to give.

Harraway itself looks safe at the moment, but it's only lightly barricaded, so it could get dangerous quick. But, there's been plenty of groaning coming from Rodwell Row Police Department (12,27), so that may draw the zombies away.

From the main city screen, select "Settings".

That will let you modify things like your appearance, the clothes you're wearing, what notices you want, and what group you are.

(Clothing has almost no gameplay effect. The only thing that it effects is if you're a zombie, you can't bite anyone if you are wearing any type of mask.)

It'll take longer to save up the AP for the round trip to harraway, but I'll stick you whenever I get the AP.

Currently have eleven. To get to harraway, scan you, then stick you, then go back I'd need 20 AP. So I'll get you this evening.

No prob. There's another zombie here, and several dead bodies that could stand up at any moment, FYI.

I'll be heading your direction once I get the AP.

Mk, it'd be easiest if you were in a square that did not have other zombies, so movement would be ideal.

Aha...so the group I'd be setting would be the *Censored*

Yes, but we aren't saying it, so that if our enemies google us, they won't see this public thread.

Sure.

I'm currently trying to find a toolkit so I can repair buildings if they get broken into.

Unless they searched the URL for one of our character names.

Yeah. And quite a few of us have character names the same as our names here.

So, it's not a perfect system, but it at least makes it a bit more of a challenge for them.

I will be joining with the medic, I think we will benifit most from him.

We need more attackers actually.

Medic actually works just fine as combat oriented, as they're still military, so they can get the necessary skills cheaper.

Also, I'm now at the cemetery at 12,23. Only one there, currently.
