Background

The crew of Nightshade have solved one of the great mysteries.  Now they are moving on to perhaps more mundane travelling, bonding with the new ship, and finding a new direction.

Rules

For this campaign, we're using a MegaTraveller style AT system for skill improvements.  There will also be a skill cap, but it will be much higher than under MT.  Links to specific rules will be in a table below (not yet done, obviously).

As yet, there is no skill cap.  ATs are awarded, one per active character (or NPC) per session, in one skill that the character has exercised in that session.  Then, at the beginning of each session, each active character (or NPC) rolls once for each skill that has ATs, to see if the accumulated ATs can be converted into a skill level.

    The roll is for success at Formidible, with the target number ( INT + ( 3 * AT ) ) -- i.e. as if AT is the skill level.

    Success means that one skill level is added to that skill for the character.  If this is a new skill for the character, it is gained at level 0.  On a successful roll, the ATs in that skill are reset to zero.
