O.C.C. skills and Electives confusion

Unread post by zombietots »

I am trying to make my first character, The Esper, in Mechanoids (Not Rifts) and I am having trouble understanding the skills part. Do I get all the skills listed below or are those the electives that I choose from?

Also, I'm confused on the W.P.. Does everyone get a handgun W.P. ad the ones under there skills are bonuses to the W.P.?

The Esper's time is spent developing their psionics so they don't have major area of expertise (OCC) skills. Just elective ones.

Whether or not a skill comes with the OCC or is an elective depends on where it's listed. It looks like WP Handgun is an elective skill for most OCCs. So most OCCs can choose to have that skill if they want it.

I hope that helps and you have a good game.

Elective Skills: You choose a set number of skills from the list based on your character level. Not all are available at once.

W.P.: Yes, everyone gets a base W.P. (Weapon Proficiency) for handguns. The listed skills under W.P. are bonuses you can choose from during elective selection, specializing your combat with specific weapons.
