SKILL RATINGS

The ability of a character in a given mental or physical

skill is measured by his Skill Rating in that area. Skill Ratings,

like attribute scores, have a range of 1 to 100 points. In the

case of Skill Ratings, however, 100 is an ideal that cannot be

reached, and no Skill Rating can be higher than 99.

The initial Skill Ratings are determined as part of the

character creation process. Just as on-the-job training occurs

in real life, once play has begun, Skill Ratings increase with

use. After each adventure or each major mission of a continuing

campaign, the character's S!<.ill Ratings could increase in

those skills that were used during the adventure.

Basic Proficiency Level

For physical skills, a Skill Rating of 10 indicates that a

character has fami.liarity with basic procedures used in those

situations normally encountered. He can use that skill in noncritical,

leisurely situations and have success. The quality of

the product and the time taken to achieve the success are

indicated by his Skill Rating.

For mental skills, a Skill Rating of 10 or more indicates

a basic understanding of the concepts and vocabulary in an

area of study. It also indicates that the most comfTIon facts

in the area are known by the character, and that the common

uses ofthe skill are within the character's grasp. In noncritical,

leisurely situations, the character can apply his knowledge

to solve problems. The Skill Rating is an indication of the

difficulty of the problems that may be solved easily, and also

an indication of the time needed to come upwith the solution.

Professional Competency Level

A Skill Rating of 40 indicates the lowest level for professional

competency in the field. Normally a character will have

a Skill Rating of at least 40 in the areas where he normally

functions. A character's training at Star Fleet Academy will

give him a Skill Rating of at least 40 in his major. A Skill

Rating of 60 or more indicates the equivalent of an advanced

degree in that skill.

Expert Level

A Skill Rating of 80 or more indicates that the character

is an expert in the field, and a Skill Rating of 96 or more

indicates that the character is an acknowledged leader in the

field, one of the few greats in the Federation.
