Gang creation questions, for N26

[Arikel]

Okay so I read over the gang creation rules in the main book and have the underhives gang book (will likely get the outlands one later).

 

Trying to work out starting skills.

 

Prospects: no starting skill, unless specifically listed on the profile (ex. escher wyld sisters have  clamber)

 

Gangers: Can choose one specialist skill, plus whatever is on the profile, if any.

 

Leaders and Champions: Can choose one skill from a primary ability, have Inspiring, plus whatever is on the data sheet.

 

Do leaders and champions also get to select a specialty skill? I don’t recall seeing that they do, but it feels like they should get to choose one.

Champions and Leaders get to select a skill from their Primary skills available.

 

This is actually a little annoying for my Orlock as that means either shooting or Savant, when I wanted Nerves of Steel. But fine, that's how the game goes eh.

[Arikel]

Yeah i find that annoying. No escher has shooting as primary so the only reliable way to get a shooting skill is to have them start as a ganger with a shooting specialty. 
 

It seems to me that champs/leaders should be able to select a specialty, one extra primary skill, and the inspring skill. Seems off that gangers have access to skills that starting leader or champion of their gang can’t access.

 

Question to send in for FAQ mayhap?

Yeah I'd totally want something different for my leader.

 

On the bright side, Orlocks can embrace Hip-shooting with combat shotguns to rush forward and template folk to oblivion.

 

Annoying that I have to use my leader like that too. Especially as without Nerves of Steel his melee weapon is potentially useless.
