MGT Only: MgT2 Update - Did Homeworld skills get taken out?

[Condottiere]

I suspect that ten thousand hours of practice will give the Olympian Athletics/specialization skill factor four, to complement their primary physical ability.

While I agree in not everyone in a World should have the sam backround skills, I'd instead forbid some due to homeworld. It's unlikely a 18 years old boy from a TL3 world can have learned electronics or computer, or someone from a very low pop to have learned streetwise of carousing.

I'd suggest no hard rule here, but only some logic to be used but, aside from those restrictions, I agree the background learning may be varied enough as not to assume most people in a world will have the same skills.

This is a good guideline. If we use the MgT 2e set as an example, a GM could sat that a character can "choose from this list, except these skills have been replaced by those." Where the specific ones are listed at the game table.
