I know, in my last post on the "Best character/Overlay" thread, I wrote that in my opinion every officer can contribute to a campaign/mission, regardless his position/overlay.
But after thinking a little bit more about it, I cannot see how a Counselor could be of use ?
(That is if he isnt a telepath. We once had a SI agent in our group, covered as a Counselor. He was bearly able to do the job, but had some VERY interesting PSI skills.)
On any mission every PC is part of the away teams, even if there is no logical reason why the chief engineer, chief medical, security chief, OPS, Navigator and the captain should all beam down/over/whatever. It is as if we played TOS in the TNG timeline, just to not let any PC back on the ship unemployed.
Any insights?
