| Don't be afraid to choose Skills outside your highest priorities, since a Character's Traits are only one part of the AP they can generate; there are also Skills and Specs to give them bonuses. If a Character has strong dice rolls in one area, but chooses their strongest Skills from another area, the Character is less powerful in any given situation, but is less often caught off-guard.

| - | * For example, after a previous Character was brutally assaulted in a bar fight, perhaps you decide to take a more flexible approach. For the new Character, we still want to hack and sneak, but it would also be nice to have some fighting and surviving in our Skill set. To achieve this, we're going to take the same two Skills: Tech Lore and Stealth, but we won't put our highest ranks in the Focus and Instinct Traits to miximize their performance. Instead, we're going to put more emphasis on the Physique Trait for combat actions and the Vigor Trait for survivability actions. The new Character is weaker at being a stealthy hacker, but would have much better odds if the situation doesn't go their way. Perhaps they even seek out a few bar brawlers to settle an old vendetta. This is an example of a **balanced** Character. | + | * For example, after a previous Character was brutally mauled in a bar fight, perhaps you decide to take a more flexible approach.
