Spec Yourself

[Shadow Shack]

Be honest, and spec yourself as a classic Traveller character based on your physical abilities & personal skills.

Someone else did this a while back, but I am not sure where. Presently, I suspect that based on dexterity and strength bonuses and minuses, I might not exactly meet the rule requirements for shooting.

I'm afraid that I wouldn't last long in the wild, deep space of the 3rd Imperium.

If I had the permission to fudge, I'd just use stats which would describe Earl Dumarest.

Well, I guess I could drop the first three to 584.

I think I've passed mine to now, but it's not looking so good for the next one. I suspect the endurance roll will be a fail...

I'm right there with ya, I just don't bend and bounce like I used to.

 

[Diveguy]

Well, I'll give it a go... though I'll have to mash it up some. And definitely going to be fudging the Int/End rules though I can back it up.

Thanks for being willing to post here as a fairly new member. I do like the Napping-3, as I would probably join you there. Note, I can do that after drinking a pot of regular coffee, none of the unleaded stuff.

Looking back at my original from 9 years ago:

"Mine would be rather pathetic (well, the physical stats probably okay, as I recently did squat 345 pounds, trying to get back to 275 bench presses, and I'm back into running training for a 1/2 marathon; and I guess a masters must count towards EDU) but my skill set, ugh. Maybe computer 1, wheeled 0, admin 0. You would think after 46 more years I'd have a larger skill set, but CT was a bit limited in that area (which is the version I'm statting to) and I'm lazy. I'd have procrastination 3 if that was a skill!"

However, in the intervening years, I know my endurance has gone down and bench pressing 245 is about it (although I did hit 285 last year!) And in context of American social levels, in hindsight with how and where we live, it is higher. In terms of world social class (attributing social class with wealth levels pretty much) it would be higher, but discussions there can rapidly devolve to pit material! So a bit better than middle class but no where near the top.

So: 978AB9
Service: Civilian
Computer (Legacy) 2, Wheeled Vehicle 1, Admin 1, Napping 1 (I liked that skill!), Procrastination 3.

I've bumped up a couple skills.

Apparently I've been napping through life...I'd add art (writing 0) but I don't think that was classic. No weapon skills or survival skills: I am doomed should the apocalypse arrive!

I am ready for the zombie apocalypse. My current End would be a couple points lower until I got back in shape. I could advance the hand weapon skills fairly quickly, I'm just horribly out of practice at present.
