Let's vote up a Mouse Guard character![Step 6.5. Life experiences]

[The Glyphstone]

Our bandwagon is more bandwagoney than your bandwagon.

Bandwagon race!

[Sodalite]

Hm...I'm reminded of Mario Kart for some reason.

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Bandwagons.... ASSEMBLE!!!!

Or is this Bandwagon Kombat? Dueling Bandwagons? Bandwagon Trail?

Someone want's to write up a Bandwagon Confilct skill selection?

I think Insectrist or Loremouse, depending on the cart and probarbly Scout.

Attack and Defend - Ins/LM
Manuveur and Feint - Scout

objections?

[Sodalite]

I imagine you'd need an awfully light wagon for it to pulled by an insect, unless we're talking about something big, like a goliathus or something. Otherwise, yeah, that seems reasonable, if not quite related to the thread as a whole.

Marginally more related, does Insectrist only apply to actual insects, or does also include things like arachnids, crustaceans, and annelids?

[Siegel]

It includes everything like that besides Bees. There is an extra skill for Bees called Apiary(and it's awesome).

Basically all the stuff that makes me go iiiiiirrrrrrggghhhhh is covered by both of these skills.

[The Glyphstone]

Wait, there's a skill that lets us train riding/killer BEES? We must have it.

You can use it to Placate or Anger Bees or make them swarm someone. Also to produce wax or honey.

Loremouse is used to speak with animals and train them as mounts (and it is hard, believe me i saw a mouse try to tame a fox)

[Sodalite]

Eh. I mean, I get bees are a meme and all, but if stuff like spiders, wasps, beetles, and especially crabs are all covered by Insectrist, I think it might be the better choice. I mean, if we can somehow get our paws on one of these guys, I think we'll be set. We don't even need to ride it, just sic it on anything not expecting to have to deal with a big crab, that we want out of the way.

[The Glyphstone]

Where we're going to find a tropical island-dwelling crab in a forest is a completely different issue than if we can train it.

Also, Team Buglords is winning 3-2 in the bandwagon race, by my count.

[Siegel]

I think we should give it until tomorrow morning (europe time) and then we will go on with the next step about the parents.

G'night

I'm going for some variety of desert mouse, and hoping a bandwagon materializes at some point.

You have my cloak.

[Siegel]

So it seems like Insect Mouse beats Dessert Mouse and Tool Mouse by 3-2-2.

So our Mouse get's a point in Insectrist and was a Defender of the City.

The next big step is choosing skills. We break this up into multiple parts.

1. What area is your mouse naturally talented in?
There is a big ass list of ALL the skills in the game and we get to choose ONE skill from it. This skill will get a point.
(by the way, in the end of the skill point process every skill that was activated get's an additional point so a broad choice get's you a bit more then specialisation)

The skills are:

Administrator - managing facilities, outposts etc.
Glazier
Apiarist
Haggler
Archivist - writing novels and reports etc.
Harvester
Armorer - making weapons and armor
Healer
Baker
Hunter - fighting animals, finding them, building traps and snares
Boatcrafter - building and sailing boats
Insectrist
Brewer
Instructor - helps other people to improve their skills
Carpenter
Laborer
Cartographer
Loremouse
Cook
Militarist - raising up armies and leading them in battle
Deceiver
Miller
Fighter - for fighting mice and animals. You can't fight mice with hunter
Orator
Pathfinder - going from A to B and blazing new trails
Persuader
Potter
Scientist
Scout - the "ninja" skill. Following tracks, finding hidden things, staying hidden
Smith - making tools
Stonemason
Survivalist - finding water and shelter, making makeshift tools and boats
Weather Watcher - more like control weather
Weaver

[Totally Guy]

Count me for Pathfinder

[Sanguine]

My vote goes to Hunter. Though I wouldn't complain if we ended up going Scout or Pathfinder instead.

[Amphetryon]

Apiarist, obviously Says the guy who's apiphobic.

[Shir]

cartographer because. Or pathfinder.

[The Glyphstone]

Apiarist, because BEEEEEEEES. Go Team Buglord!

[Fenix_of_Doom]

Tough choice, but I;m going with Hunter .

[Zelphas]

Just to be different, I'm going with Persuader. It is rather easy to be persuasive with a giant crab ready to attack on your orders, I guess...

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Let's take the Pathfinder bandwagon, because Edition Wars.

[Knaight]

Loremouse: They might be untrained, but their memory is fantastic, and they always loved stories.

[Siegel]

PATHFINDER WINS !!!

The next step is: What was your parents’ trade?

Yes, we have to define the parents of our mouse. They can have one of the following trades:

Apiarist
Carpenter
Archivist
Cartographer
Armorer
Glazier
Baker
Harvester
Boatcrafter
Insectrist
Brewer
Miller
Potter
Smith
Stonemason
Weaver

[Totally Guy]

They were Glaziers.

[Amphetryon]

They were Apiarists.
