feasable??

I don't think you have enough points... but I haven't checked with a skill generator. I am pretty sure you will be about 11 points short for that combo though.

---

Remember that they dropped the SP requirements.

---

CM no long requires Ranged Support? That is the only requirement I can think of that they would drop that makes sense. If that is true then you should be able to do it with quite a few skill points left over.

Now viability is another thing. If poisons work the same way they did pre-CU you could do pretty well I think if you have a bit of patience and ability/strategy to endure while the poisons tick.

---

I belive the old requirements were Master Medic and Ranged Support 4, and that has been dropped to 2 lines of Medic (and pistols 4???). As far as viablilty, didn't CM get a pistol cert?

Ok, then I'm not loosing it. Ya, ya, it's debatable. Master Scout + Master Ranger + Ranged Support IV + Medic 0400 + Master CM would leave you with -11 skill points. So you would not be able to master both CM and Ranger in the current system and you DEFINITELY would not have been able to in the old system.

EDIT: I don't think the pistol cert matters so much anymore since they changed weapons to be level based? You would just have no specials (or rather, only have the ones from the Ranged Support line).

What about the 15 points for novice marsksman and the 14 points for ranged support IV?

Hahaha, my guess is that he picked up that template to mete out some long tempered frustration on some unsuspecting individuals, something he couldn't do before. But now... STFB

For anyone as confused as I am at this point there is a CU skills calculator here. Just a warning - I think the Squad Leader pre-reqs are wrong in this version.

Well, I had a great response, until I got tickled..now I am all flustered.

Seriously, though, you don't need Ranged Support 4...Just 2 lines of Medic

I really do think you still need Ranged Support IV... but if you don't then CM is is more viable for Ranger since it (at least the night before last when I put it in Noelani's template) only requires one line of medic now. Doc still requires two, but CM only needs one. I have ranged support IV but I don't know if that is because I assumed I needed it or actually did need it.

Uh oh...now I am afraid I am wrong, and that you will beat me!

Well, since you have a PC right now and I do not I will defer to you to check it out in the spec tonight.

I defer to your superior knowledge ...I have just been told it is 1 line of Medic and Ranged Support 4. That makes it impossible to master both...
