Edit: to get a 1 in any skill, all you need to do is spend 10 IP in that skill and you get it at a 1 after that. I do insist that your PC do things to practice for it. No automatic skills except for APTR, Reflex chips and MRAM, Memory chips. The first is a Ref based skill like Driving or Handgun or a MA. The second is a Int/ATTR and Tech based.<br/><br/>Urg.... I can't find my notes on Constructs or Franks, so here's the basics. I'll post more when I find my notes.<br/><br/>Constructs: Canines (including dogs, wolves and foxes) have a +2 to Body, +2 to MA and +1 to Ref. Additional bonuses to poison resistance, healing ability, endurance, Awareness/notice (sight, sound, smell)<br/>Felines (including tigers, lions, bobcats, house cats, etc. Nearly every feline species has a use here) +1/2 Body, +3 Ref, +2 MA. Additional bonuses to Endurance, poison resistance, healing ability, Awareness/notice (eyes, nose and hearing).<br/><br/>Franks: +2 Body, +2 Ref, +2 MA, +2/4 ATTR, +1/2 Int. Bonuses similar to constructs and additional training depending on what the Frank's job/mission is to be.
