And, yes, the wypoc data is there!

Glad to be (along with Casey) of service on that one.

As to the other comment, I don't know what arts you studied.... in the one I'm thinking of (Aikido, as taught by my old Sensei William Bickford), it took 4 years of serious training at about a minimum to get a Dan ranking. It might be argued as L3, but could equally be argued as L4.

Exactly. 4 years is what it takes to get one level in LBB2 training. Maybe with a master tutor that could double. And, if the trainee started at skill 1 from his JoT roll on table 2...

But seriously, a +3 in CT combat isn't like a +3 on a 20-sided die roll. For the basic combat 8+ to hit, a +3 changes your odds by 15 out of 36, which is +42%, equivalent to a +8 in D&D. This is the main reason why I say skill-3 is mastery in CT, with higher levels seldom attained.
