Secondary Statistics: Hit Points, Regeneration, Encumbrance, Defense Class, Fortitude Early on, Perception 8 is required to obtain a rather decent relic during the Prologue. Now ask yourself if you would be any good in a fight without it. Look at that list of things that Perception affects. Other Uses: Detecting traps, finding hidden secrets, some dialogue options Secondary Statistics: Initiative, Precision, Evasion, Learnability Skills Affected: Light Weapons, Heavy Weapons, Hi Tech Weapons, Piloting Other Servoshells are available in the Second Act and later. Fair warning though, this is someways into the First Act and requires some tech skills to repair a damaged Servoshell you receive. Ironically, it is also the easiest Attribute to ignore as the game does let you obtain Servoshells (ie Fallout style Power Armor that adds to Muscle) later on. Muscle is also a prerequisite of many Heavy Weapons (4 will let you use shotguns, 6 is needed for heavier weapons). Other uses: Bashing open locks, digging up buried treasures Secondary Statistics: Hit Points, Encumbrance, Close Quarter Damage Skills Affected: Heavy Weapons, Melee Weapons, Tech Otherwise drugs, which often lead to nasty addiction or side effects, can give a temporary boost. Two Perks can do it and some Skill Capstones also give permanent bonuses. There are not many ways to increase Attributes permanently in game. During character creation you will have 45 points to spend on these and they are precious. but they do have defining characteristics in the form of Attributes. Blues also have a decent bonus (+10 Learnability translates to free experience points) but there are relatively few dialogue options involving the Blue Wing. Black Wing characters get some delicious heavy armour and firepower early on which makes combat much easier. Silver Wing gets a lot of access and their +2 skill points a level snowball really quickly. Personally I have found Silver and Black Wing characters have the easiest time of it. Silver Wing uniforms are great at inspiring a crowd, not so good at dodging bullets for example. The uniforms have a variety of features, they grant various resistances but tend to also have drawbacks. It is possible for Black Wing characters for example to start the game with a machine gun. In general your starting gear will be your Wing’s standard uniform and a weapon in which your Wing is skilled. +1 Brains, +10 High-Tech Weapons, +15 Medicine, +15 Science, +20 Biochemical Resistance +1 Charisma, +2 Skill points per level, +20 Psionics, +20 Influence Silver Wing: Management and administration.+1 Deftness, +30 Encumbrance, +20 Criminal, +20 Survival Orange: Menial labourers, all of whom are convicted criminals.+1 Guts, +10 Learnability, +10 Melee Weapons, +15 Contraptions, +15 Tech +1 Muscle, +20 Fortitude, +15 Heavy Weapons, +15 Hand to Hand, +15 Melee Weapons, +20 Piloting Black Wing: Military, police and security.
