    I remember this stuff well, thought it was rather well done back when you'd first posted it.
    I also remember an energy whip, financial tripadd and a Liquidator overlay ... I think it was more towards 54 DP though

    Got a little sidetracked by real life, but back at it and converting the Overlays from the Andorian book. Hope to finish them up tomorrow, and with any luck start on the ones from the untaken trek book(s).

    RealPity, like the job you did with the Romulan and Vulcan Overlays.

    Liquidator, like your Ferengi stuff as well. Got anymore laying around? I seem to recall you had a lot of material floating around here at one time. Your lawyer Overlay is open enough it could be used for anyone and not just Ferengi. A great second option to the one I made.

    Well, as you can see there were no additions to the list from the Andorian book or the untaken trek book(s)–they already were 36 points after all.

    However, I’ve been pokin’ around with some old notes for an idea for a series from way back when and noticed the POF had a few more Overlays that didn’t add up.

    I’ve done these a little different–they are more than 36 points. The average of the five Overlays was 42 points, and since it seemed reasonable these would be a little more trained than the general population–but still less than those in Starfleet–I went with the 42 points for these. . .
