Hi folks,

So my group has started making their characters and a few have taken two obligations; however I'm a little unsure if they have given themselves the correct starter amount. The book says that for a 5 man group starter obligation should be 10 per character. Is this a collective 10 or 10 per obligation per character?! Currently two of my group have given themselves 5 points per obligations adding up to 10; but I'm not sure if this right

Thanks

Yup, you add it all up to make the roll and see if anyone's trips, and then use it accordingly.

A group of 5 will start with 10 each. For this they get a ship and their starting credits.

They each may take on up to 10 more for extra xp and/or credits.

Note that if they all take max obligation they will start oblocked.

Cheers folks, just read through the obligation section again, it's clear now.

Note that if they all take max obligation they will start oblocked.

Not quite. Much as with all thresholds in this game, you need to exceed the value to suffer the effect. In the case of what you call oblocked, that means a group Obligation total > 100. At 100, you're right on the edge but can still spend XP while trying to lower the group Obligation.
