So I just wasted about 15 minutes updating my "Training Master Sheet" for the HR people, and I couldn't help but feel like I was filling out the skills section of a character sheet.

PC:3
Fax machine: 3
Answer Phone: 5
Prepare Shipping Documents:5
Accounting: 2

And so on and so on.......

You're probably right, except my specialization would be Export Shipping Documents I think

Maybe I'll have to go back to SR2 Skill/Concentration/Specialization
Document preparation3/Shipping Documents 4/Export Shipping Documents 5

Heh. There should be a Seduction skill in SR, that way you can take the Incompetant negative quality for it and not even be able to default.

But Deckers only get half the points for Incompetence: Seduction!

No. No it shouldn't.

Because I work for DHL and personally handle a little over a thousand such shipping documents a night, and I can promise you that at least half the jackholes out there obviously have no idea what they're doing when they fill those things out.

Shipping Documents is a skill all unto itself, and one most people very clearly are defauling to try and gain access to.

Yes, yes. I meant in this thread. It's been entirely too polite and good-natured! Where is Dumpshock without telling people that they're obviously far stupider and less capable than they think they are?

Well, Solstice was smart enough to deny us the low-hanging fruit of a listed Intelligence score, so I guess we need to wait a few more posts to get things rolling.

I'm pretty sure Tracking is covered under Survival. Rifles is just...Rifles (covers sniper and sporting, both), though you could specialize in your favorite specific model if you wanted. Alertness is a specialization of Stealth, not a seperate skill.

Get in line, rulebreaker!

Could always go with INT 3 being ±1 standard deviation, int 2 being -1-2 standard deviations, int 1 being -2-3, int 4 being +1-2, int 5 being +2-3, etc. etc. etc.

At least that will make the higher values quite rare... P(STAT 11)=0.00000000000000066613
This way the highest stat rating that you'd likely see in the whole human population would be 8.

Well IQ should be a simple conversion.
since by the math 50% of the population have an IQ of 100
25% are 75 - 99
25% are 101 - 125
25% are < 75
25% are > 125

so i'd say
1=50
2=75
3=100
4=125
5=140-150
6=150-200
7=200-250
8~300
just rember 1 in 4 people you meet are clinicaly retarted and 1 in 6 shouldn't be outside without a keeper.
