>>7210495I'm a little shocked that everyone is dogpiling Ina for not utilizing her skills and merits to their fullest potential, because all of them are guilty of it at least once or twice. So far she's used her driving skills as best she can (she REALLY should have burned some willpower in that escape scene), which is truly the most she can do in the given situation. I would like to see those merits and that Academics get put to use, however.
Look at Tiara, she has three points in Empathy, and I can't even think of a situation where that would be used. I've never played Hunter, so I can't say how useful or shit it might be, but my gut is telling me Empathy is very situational. Maybe if the party needed to self-righteously bitch out a bunch of randos on reddit (boy they love using that E word), then I guess Tiara is the girl for the job.
On a more positive note: Yuul has herself armed with a taser. Normally that would mean a Firearms check (1 point for her), but all tasers can be used at melee range without the prongs, which should require a Weaponry check (2 points in that). Is it possible a taser in WoD could utilize either of the two skills at will?
