Wrong. I have never said that Major Anthony Po is a crack shot. He is a pretty good shot with a pistol (recreational shooting and FBI training pre-war) but only an average shot with a rifle. He is much better at hand to hand as he has been training in Wing Chun since he was a teenager. Po's best skill levels lie in the areas of medicine, forensics and administration.

I can't stress strongly enough that Po's great success in my campaign is not due to his skill levels. They are much more to do with how he has been played. The guy who plays Po is keenly intelligent and frighteningly shrewd. When Po needs someone killed he delegates the task to the person or people he thinks are best qualified for the job. Po rarely goes into heavy combat personally. That isn't his primary role. He is an officer, and more to the point the CO of his SOG.
