I'll finish this weekend, but I had a question on skill synergy feat.  I think the feat allows you to add 2 new skills to your class list.  I know in general bonuses don t stack but does the class skill +3 stack with the +2 from the class stealth bonus?  I think yes but I want to make sure I'm doing this right.  

 

Your class gives you an "Operatives Edge" bonus (+1 and increasing as you level up) and the Skill Focus feat (+3 to the two skills that you specialize in).  Both of these are insight bonuses so they do not stack.  Being a ysoki gives you a +2 to Engineering, Stealth and Survival as a racial bonus.  

 

Since they are two different types of bonuses, the racial bonus will stack with whatever your class gives you.  

 

I think this is what you are asking about.  Let me know if it is not.

And I'm going to contridict Geyfax because I see you asking a different question.

 

Assuming that your class is Mechanic, which does not have Stealth as a class skill.  If you take Skill Synery as a feat, and choose Stealth as one of the two skills it affects, it will become a class skill for you.  As such, if you put one rank into it (+1), you will gain the class skill bonus (+3), which stacks with your Yosoki racial modifier (+2) for a total of +6+your DEX modifier.

it was dilvish's answer that I was looking for.  I was a little unsure of the rules there but that clears up what i was asking.  with that i give you Xap and Lex

 

Personality

Xap is a carefree engineer and pilot determined to make his place in the worlds.  In his youth he was promised the stars and to the stars he would go.  He loves tinkering with things and getting into places he shouldn't be, especially with the help of his little friend lex (pronounces Liz).  He is quick to get into trouble and just as quick to run away from it.  He likes to form friends but hasnt had much opportunity to since he left his home world.  to assist his curiosity and assist in getting where he wants to go Xap also learned advanced tricks in making drugs and healing poultices to make friends and divert people between him and where he wants to go.  He does prefer to sneak or immobilize rather than kill but he has had to make that hard choice before.  besides lasers make pretty good door cutters...

 

Description:

Xap is small, even by Sokai standards,  Although physically not impressive, he is quick and can get into a number of tight spots that bigger people would be troubled with.  Xap has bright blue eyes and dark grey fur with a white star blaze on his chest.  He travels light and with a minimal of baggage,never knowing when he will need to make a sudden change of address

And I'm going to contradict Dilvish since he doesn't know who he's contradicting.

And that's what happens when you have to go back a page to quote text.  I meant to go and verify but I guess I got distracted by looking up the rules.

Looks good with one exception.  I think you have one extra Stat point.  You should have three pints to dex (race and theme) two points to Int (race) and -2 to strength (race.  Then you have your 10 points: 3 to dex (16), 6 to Int (18) and 2 to Wis (12).  That's 11 points vice 10.  I suggest dropping a point from Wis, as Dex and Int help you too much.

 

Also, looks like your synergy is Life Science and Stealth, all of those skills look good.

[Kangaroorex]

I took the point off of wisdom.  He's not a particularly wise little mouse... always getting into trouble.

 

one question i have:  i have his drone set up as a stealth drone with an injector gun, but i am having a rather hard time finding something relatively inexpensive and non-leathal to fill it with.  Dream shiver would be the closest to what i am looking for but for 2500 credits i could buy the average guard off or buy a weapon big enough to stop him in his tracks.  looks a little silly to me. Sedatives are the same way.  a couple of grams of ketamine will drop an elephant and even on the black market today its a couple of hundred dollars.  the equivalent would be a class 3 or 4 sedative, again for that price i can hire a goon squad.

 

Let me know if i missed something.  if we cant find a useful drug method then i will replace the injector with something else.  Note, Xap does have the ability to make drugs and medicinals.

Yes!  We have at least one person who can roll perception!

[Grayfax]

Don’t count on it... you’ll notice the bonus is only +1... 

[ShadowRaven]

I can roll perception, I just apparently can't roll 'well' for perception.

I said roll, not have a god bonus....

[Kangaroorex]

well, he is the one paying actual attention to the station itself.  Xap and Switch are looking for Sokai, and Okimoro is busy stretching so we'd probably trip over a dead body.

 

Not to be a pest but... any thoughts on the dartgun?  without drugs the device is pretty usless and i can put something else on the drone, but i would rather have a non-lethal method of dropping prospective "friends" who just have the bad luck of being in the way.

*cough* CAIN is stretching.  Okimoro is busy being a shuttle.  

 

No thoughts on the dart gun.  I looked at it and said "too complex for me", and ignored anything having to do with that.

[Dilvish the Deliverer]

Drugs just seem too expensive (even if you make them yourself as they cost the same per the creation rules) to make the needler useful.  If you want a non-lethal weapon, go with a pulsecaster pistol for 1d4 electrical non-lethal.  Though the needler does do 1d4 piercing even without drugs so it's still a viable weapon on it's own.

[Kangaroorex]

1d4 is not going to quietly knock out a pedestrian.  If that's the way things go, might just as well get on with the killin.  

 

But I am going to be extremely disappointed in paizo if I get tagged with drugs or stun gas.  There can't be anyone dumb enough to use any of it at those prices.

 

One does wonder why the various drug cartels and help the poor medicos haven't developed cheaper alternatives, 

 

Also given the cost of sedatives im thinking magical healing is REAL popular as opposed to 24k just for the anesthetic
