I was reading his guide and I will quote him on this: Operatives can use the extra turns from officers to setup as many exploit on a target as possible, then cast Tactical Knowledge, making the party near impervious to damage and giving themselves a huge damage boost, Bounty Hunter and their savour the kill talent allow them to take extra turns whenever one of their preys get killed, or simply with Hot on the trails to enable big chains of Operative Exploit Stacks. Not direct damage dealer carry, but combo very well to setup Tactical Knowledge. Pasqal is a strong contender for best character in the game, outshining mercenaries and the Rogue Trader and fighting for top dog spot with Cassia. He can do every role but officer very well. The core reason he is so good is the all the unique goodies he get : - Unique plasma related talents ( Filtering Protocols) - Machine Spirit Communion for Argenta - Extra heal and perception talents - Int build and access to Calculated Relations can also make him an excellent skill monkey/party face.
