Liaison-1, Computer-1, Cutlass-1.

Sir Baltus is a most interesting character!
I can see him as one of Chief Factor Lois Cho's top assistants. Diplomacy is going to be a decided plus on what is, in the beginning anyway, a mission to open up trade between the worlds you visit and the Delgado Trading Company.
BTW, if we don't get many players, I'm going to let those who do play have a second PC, if they want one.

I kept rolling on the Personal Development Table hoping for Gun Combat... Would have liked to make it at least another term or two, with the physical stats, he could spare a few failed aging rolls...
Do you use the Book 2 experience rules? If so, he would try to start a weapons training program...
Obviously the diplomatic corps saw him as more of a body guard than actual diplomat, giving him position as a favor to his father, but a nice way to get a third son out of the way back home. He utilizes his computer skills to assure the security of computer systems at diplomatic posts, and in many places, wearing a ceremonial cutlass is acceptable. Being close by the actual diplomats, he learned their craft, and of course used his knowledge to keep from pissing his superiors off. Of course they ran him out before he could claim retirement.

I'm very likely going to have a gun combat, or two, in the Skill Package, so you can pick up a level 1 that way, but yes we'll have a way to learn/improve skills. I'm going to steal the Mongoose method, which I'll post. |

Wow. Wade hides behind Baltus as soon as there is danger. There is sure room there, physical UPP ABA must mean he is 1.5meters shoulder-to-shoulder. <grin>

Frank, 3 skill levels is a fair result in CT Book 1, but because we have some MT characters here, I think, in all fairness, you need to add a couple of skill levels to Baltus. I'm going to let you pick anything you want: two new skills at 1, ione new skill at 2, add 1 or 2 to an existing skill...mix and match, your choice. I'll post Baltus to the cast, but I'll modify him when you tell me what skills you want. I added a bit of background to Sir Baltus over in the Cast of Characters, I'll take it out if you want, but I think it fits with what you've said about him. Do you see Sir Baltus as being something like Jame Retief? I do. Eris |

On top of impressive physical stats rolled... He is still buff after taking a beating on the aging tables... Fitting the position he seems to have fallen in, I'll take SMG-2. |

BTW, I love the emergent properties of Traveller chargen that he came out of the diplomatic service looking not at all like a diplomat (other than the free Liaison-1).

What should I do about purchasing gear? What sources can we use? Any restrictions?

What should I do about purchasing gear? What sources can we use? Any restrictions? Book 1-3 or Traveller Book, plus that Consolidated list with prior approval of the item. TL A is about the highest you're going to be able to find. |

There will be standard vacc suits aboard The Clear Sails for the crew, but you and Lois will need to buy your own. You'll also want to get a filter mask, air mask, or a combo mask(that does both) for planets with tainted and/or very thin atmospheres. You will also want to have arctic weather gear, but you don't have to buy that, we'll just say you have it. |

Ok, gear will include (will figure out what cash is left later):
TL 10 Vacc Suit, Cloth Armor, Reflec, SMG, ammo, Laser Rifle, Cutlass, Dagger (knife), Auto Pistol, ammo, Filter Mask, Respirator, Combo Mask, Oxygen Tanks, Hand Computer (if possible, that's TL 11), Long Range Communicator (TL 9 from TTB), Binoculars, Light Intensifier Goggles, Cold Light Lantern, Protective Suit (Cloth), TL 8 short range comm (unless he can land a TL 13 medium range - he needs some kind of discrete comm).
If the heatsuit from my house rules document (came from JTAS or an adventure) is available, one of those.
Would consider an ATV if that would be of use to the group.
