I should point out that in this example, Jamison is not picking them all as part of a basic training skills package, he's just moved into the career, and picked the one skill; 'Deception'. I assume the end result is the same though; during a term, you can roll and pick from the same table

Ooops :oops: Yes :) Thanks

Why do I have to wait for a free download? I've registered and everything, but no SotA pdf download link is forthcoming.

Pheww, that's a lot of books. Thanks for the info
