An alternate skill system for Star Frontiers<br /><br />
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font size="2">Instead
of a PSA, a beginning character picks two skills to be trained in,
and one more to be his favored skill. All other skills are untrained.
Learn by doing skills do not have separate levels, instead your raw
percentage based on your ability score and experience is your skill
level. So you might have Pistol skill 45% and Computers skill 80%.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Quick Summary<br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font size="2">Using
a skill during an adventure grants the character an improvement roll
for that skill. If the improvement roll succeeds, the skill rises –
1d5% for untrained skills and 2d5% for trained and favored skills.
Favored skills rise by 1% even if the improvement roll fails. You can
improve every single skill you use once each adventure.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font size="2">The
improvement roll is based on your chance of skill failure. So you
have a 55% chance to improve a skill of 45%. Improvement rolls may
also be made for ability scores in the same fashion. An ability rises
by 1d5% when improved.</font></font></p>
