I think my threads have become crossed, I think folks are starting to refer to my
Expanded Characters Topic. Some of my results where a touch different than the "What are the Odds" article in JTAS #23, due to a lower rate of commission for Navy and Marine Characters, the Special Duty roll netted them around a 60% increase in Skills earnt, Army and Merchants only got about a 30-40% increase in skills and Scouts & Others got 45% & 50% respective increases. the tendency for Merchant Player Characters to take SD rolls as Benefits will help deflate the Skills Bloating most merchants can potentially earn over their naturally long careers.
We now return you our original program with the character profiles
