So the Mongoose Traveller max skill cap is 3(INT + EDU). Has anyone ever had a character hit that? It seems to me that it is pretty close to saying "There isn't one.". Most characters seem to get 10 to 15 ranks during chargen. I doubt anyone would actually hit even an INT 4/EDU 4 character's cap in character creation.
I'm not sure that a skill cap actually serves any useful game purpose in the first place, so I am not bothered that it is that high. I'm just curious as to what the arguments were that led to it being set that high instead of just ignored completely or set at 2(INT+EDU) if it was actually supposed to sometimes limit someone.
