CT Character creation question

[dean]

Gents,

EDU < or = INT isn't in MT's Player Manual either. Both the Basic and Advanced chargen sections have no mention of it.

Interestingly, graduating with Honors from College provides you with at least an EDU of 10. Honors grants you EDU 10 or current EDU + 1, which ever is higher.

P.S. Either just noticed this or had forgot it, but on the Court Martial Table, being either in command, in combat, or senior enlisted (E7-E9) gives you a better chance of a prison or death sentence while being in training or a general/admiral gives you a better chance of getting off free. I can understand the latter, but the former?

Abu Ghirab?

Anyway, it's for the same reasons high level politicians and celebrities can get off scot-free. They have the connections and resources to explore all the legal angles and escape legal repercussions. Mid level guys don't have the resources, and the lower level guys don't have the authority or responsibility to be held accountable.

I was talking in terms of game rules. Maybe Wil will give us a postive reference. But, I remember--I think it was in the College rules--that EDU cannot be raised higher than INT, and the only way to get EDU higher than INT was to random roll it when the character is initially created or through the +1 EDU results during the career path.

Maybe it was in my namesake, Supplement 4. I'm not sure where, but it was a CT reference.

I don't recall that being a rule...
I think Marc, et al., recognized that having education is not a function of your intelligence. Otherwise 99% of all NFL players would be degree-less (as opposed to the 95% (?) that are degree-less now =] )
