Why no Team Buddy solo? Because in the game Shephard is almost always in team, and when i play, Mika (My wife) is often solo. So i’ve gone for apporach rather than Grouping. It may not work for everyone but works for me.

Why 4 distinctions? I wanted a value one (after ditiching it as a dice), and a Race/class one. Which only leaves 2 choice so i’ve gone for 4. Heck, my leverage hack has 5!
