"the Gazis system"): When one goes up a skill point, training points are lost. Hence, when Rod Hotjets, now at 2.1.3 succeeds next time, his skill rating becomes PILOT-2.2. In addition, while rolling a "12" just gets one a training point, normally the players get the chance to roll for a skill point (which usually turns into a training point.) Typically, a PC will have a chance at one (or at most a few) skill point rolls after any long adventure. Bribing the customs officials on a single planet is not enough to improve BRIBERY! Now if you bought the planetary supreme court to escape execution... Mark Swanson
