He needs the Str to ride out bursts, but is less likely to be Aiming, so he gets low Dex. *Teaching as a backup to my main Teacher (optional) I have occasionally had him Repair, Train Militia or give First Aid, so those were worth keeping non-zero.ДЄs the game progresses, enemies get harder to put down with a couple of aimed shots that's where the dedicated Machinegunner shines. With a decent sniper rifle, he one-hits most enemies with headshots even if they're wearing helmets. Probably could have Dumped Exp and taken the extra 15 points in Str, but other than that, the selections have turned out very well. *Stealthy is the optional trait that I shouldn't be allowed.Д«ase Ldr, low Str and minimal Skills maxed all the other stats. Stealthy gives an initial Suppressor Sniper gives a bipod and a 10x scope that you won't be able to use for quite a while (no weapons in early game that will mount it). It also lets you see enemies in surrounding sectors and gives you a pair of binoculars, among other things. Having a scout means never having your group ambushed (even by bloodcats). Not sure what the entry level is, but less than 30 doesn't work.ДЄll this is background for my designs, FWIW. Training Mobile Militia requires a higher Ldr than training regular Militia. Unfortunately, when creating an IMP, your choice is 0 (for 15 stat points to assign elsewhere) or 35+.Д¤. The minimum Ldr to actually train militia is 20. Although in standard 1.12, it says that 0 skills never rise, I believe they do in 1.13, but only through Practice, because a 1 Ldr is not adequate to teach anyone anything, so it won't rise through use for some time. Ldr rises very fast if you're training militia, so it's not necessary to start anyone with much more than the 35 minimum unless you give someone the Teaching skill, which raises the minimum for that merc.ДЈ. All my IMP's tend to have at least 35 Ldr for this reason.Дў. The 35 non-zero minimum is adequate for this. It's VERY important in early game to have a bunch of mercs (as many as possible) with enough Ldr to train militia to hold the towns you take so you can move on. Not actually sure if they classify Ldr as a skill or a stat, but I'll mention it separately because:ДЎ. loot you want to put into use) saves some downtime. In the early game, I don't find much use for Exp, but having a couple of Mec's to repair items (esp.

Since you use the same pool to select initial stats and skills, I should also mention that skills always rise faster (with use) than stats, so boost the stats first, keeping in mind that you want at least 1 merc with a usable level of each of the 3 skills, and preferably more than 1 with Med, for obvious reasons. and overloading a low-Str merc is easy to do, too :) makes them tire fast, but improves those 2 stats. Str and Hea rise quickly, especially if you overload your merc when not in combat. Dex raises fine if your merc uses any of the 3 basic skills (Mec, Exp, Med) a lot, but slowly otherwise.

I usually skimp on Ldr plus either Str or Hea. The trick is to pick a weakness that won't be fatal before it improves.

raising that 35 to 65 will go much faster than raising the 70's to 75's. If you give your merc 70's across the board, gaining 30 points total (5 per stat on average, ignoring 'skills') will take much longer than if you give him/her all 85's and one 35. Max out as many stats as you can, and take one or two that are ridiculously low the lower they are, the faster they rise. And a hint for when you're designing an IMP: As with many RPG's, JA2 does not encourage 'balance' in your mercs.
