That works for me :) Nice balance and both teams have a healer which I suspect may come in handy later on for everyone...

But now team A has both psychics with combat ready powers. One team WILL have to have two, but it should probably be me and Scarab, since Mind Flame is more powerful than telekinesis, and Scarab only has residue. The investigators should be more on the team without Scarab, to function as substitute trackers.

Zup: Templar, Miracle Healing, Occult.

That should balance things out.

Had to switch out eli from team B because she also focused on science, just in case no one got why I picked her.

But then the first team has TWO science investigators.

We have multiple Street Smarts and Science focused people. The best way is to have, as you had it set, two science people on one team and two street smarts on the other.

But that doesn't make sense. I'd rather have the variety. Two Science investigators is too similar. I tried to maximize efficiency.

Eli has a point there.

The reason I said the two science investigators didn't really matter was that the class doesn't have a whole lot of effect on the field of study. You can probably do more or less the same things regardless. Besides, having the only two people with offensive powers on the same team wouldn't end well at all.

There's three street smarts and three science. He just flipped it, which allows less variety. Whatever, you guys figure it out. I'm done arguing.

There really is not a lot of difference. I don't really think it's a negative thing to have two similar people on the same team for the reason eli just stated, as long as that does not impair combat ability. Switching us back would severely damage team B's initial combat ability, since, as I said, the only two Psychics capable of offense would be on the other team. Since Never is much more powerful than my character comparatively, my character and Scarab team up to balance things. This way there are still two Science oriented people on team A, and two Street Smarts oriented people on team B, just like before, and each team has some of every other field of study. Team A has more Investigators to make up for the lack of Scarab's tracking ability, and each team has a Soldier to provide fire support and a Templar to heal.

Well,so long as the two teams can function moderately well together without being total idiots, then I'm sure any minor difficulties can be compensated for. We'll just make it up on the fly. Seems to be working for us elsewhere...

Okay that looks good. The two less powerful psychics on one team, and the more powerful one of the other, at least one healer and investigator per team... I think it balances out

Don't forget that more investigators are on team A to make up for the lack of tracking ability.

I like this setup 8D, we can always change who's on what team in later events/missions. (if we're given the chance)
