Has anyone considered yourself as a Traveller (any of the versions) character? What would be the baseline to start? My opinion is that everyone would start out as a character with 7,7,7,7,7,7 -? profile. Since the start of the Traveller universe everyone now has as a minimum of a computer skill level of 0 for example. There are certain items for a military (Mercenary from Book 4) that need to be updated. For example, the skill of Tactics would need to be added/updated upon the successful completion of a military school (a Basic Course, Advance Course, PME, Command & General Staff College and War College (branch specific). The advance courses like the Industrial College of the Armed Forces for example results in increases in one's social standing, administration etc... The NCO ranks would have a similar structure and include an administrative. The skill of leadership would start at the E5 level (squad, platoon sergeant, first shirt, sergeant major) and the comparable officer level Lieutenant, Captain, Battalion Command and up (but only if you held that post).
