They don't need armor familiarity as the scout trooper armor (like storm commando armor) has no dex penalty anyway.

Fair enough. Though i notice they have search but no sneak.

I added sneak to the experienced and veteran troops, though with their armour and bikes the less experienced ones would be more of a screening force rather than sneaking in on foot, it's not like they can't use perception if needed.

I can see the Empire not emphasising the sneaking part of a scouts role in training much, bikes are noisy and the white armour does stand out a fair bit.

[garhkal]

Yes they can use perception, but with it being a measly 2d, and with penalties assigned FOR the noise of their bikes/white armor, why even bother?

I had the crazy though the other day reading this threat and wondered what it would look like if there was only one type of Stormtrooper. No Sand Trooper, no Snow Trooper, or Scout Trooper (biker scout) that a stormtrooper is a stormtrooper is a stormtrooper. The only difference is the equipment that they are using. All stromtroopers have a set of cold weather gear, desert gear, and speeder bike gear. All the template would need is a few extra survival specializations, and repulsorlift operation. I would same from having all these specialized units on a Star Destroyer, command would just have to deploy the stormtroopers with a "It's cold out there, better take the snow armor."

Real world equaliviant, in the Marine's Hymn there's a line "We have fought in every clime and place where We could take a gun. From the snow far off norther lands to the sunny tropic scene, you will always find Us on the job, the United States Marine."

As I work my way though the various types I find the list of unique skills to each type growing.

If you want to go with same skills just change equipment look at storm commandos as an idea of how many skills you might end up with if you want to be able to operate anywhere with and kit, they add up.
