Ok, Vets tweaked again, as my brother has looked at the issue.
Right now, they got their Known skills back but lost the stat upgrade that Fighter or Gunner beings, or two free choice points goner from All-Rounder.
Net result is zero; using free choice points freed up by having MA and Guns back as Known pays for getting the stat upgrade back. So some of you have not changed at all; specialists might have dropped a skill as they are 'forced' to have a point on MA or Guns that they don't use (though you never know).
But frankly, I wouldn't count on keeping that Known skill come custom character creation, because of the potential for abuse. It holds fine for now, though.
MAJOR NERFY CHANGES
Ok, I have been twinking, now after feedback from my bother I have been... bulldozing.
The following changes have been made to templates!
1. Veterans are no longer allowed physical stats at 4! Sorry, guys. That being the case, I have actually reduced your favoured physical stats down to 2 so that a Matrix boost can bring them up again. Come custom creation, you can change this.
2. Only Hackers can custom spend their combat skills to 4! However, Veteran Fighters and Gunners also have a single combat skill at 4 due to their Known skill (which in this new regime they are keeping)
Some people- especiall non-Hackjer Fighters- will find themsevles with lower pools.
ALL Veterans will find themsevles with lower pool OR wounds!
But also all Veterans will find themselves with greatly increased Mentals.
These changes have maintained the Hacker's pool superiority and the Vet's mental superiority. Comes at the price of some creation flexibility but... sod that.
