For characteristics I rolled 5, 7, 9, 7, 9, 12
Let's build a scout.
I assigned the characteristics thus:
STR 7, DEX 7, END 12, INT 9, EDU 9, SOC 5
Background skills: Athletics-0, Carouse-0, Science-0, befitting an exuberant youth with a curious mind.
Failed to get into university.
Enlisted to the scouts.
First term event:
You survey an alien world. Gain one of Animals (riding or training) 1, Survival 1, Recon 1 or Science 1.
Chose Recon. No promotion.
Skills: Recon-1, Atrogation-0, Gun Combat-0, Mechanic-0, Pilot-0, Survival-0, Vacc Suit-0
Second term event:
When dealing with an alien race, you have an opportunity to gather extra intelligence about them. Roll either Electronics 8+ or Deception 8+. If you succeed, gain an Ally in the Imperium and DM+2 to your next Advancement roll. If you fail, roll on the Mishap Table, but you are not ejected from this career.
Failed my roll by 1, mishap - injury (missing eye or a limb reduce STR or DEX by 2). Let's hope that scout will cover some of the medical expense. So they covered 50%, and I have a debt of 5,00Cr. No promotion.

I must be way too old, I thought Scout automatically got Pilot-1? And some of that other stuff I do not recognize. What Traveller book are you using? Sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm using Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition. There scouts do not get Pilot-1 on enlistment, but if they get to rank 3 they will get it if they don't have it.
