House Rules:

The following 'Classic Traveller' materials will be allowed for character rollups:
Book 1/The Traveller Book
Book 4 - Mercenary
Book 5 - High Guard
Book 6 - Scouts
Book 7 - Merchant Prince
Supplement 4- Citizens of the Imperium

Characters may also be rolled up using MegaTraveller's Players Manual,

RESTRICTIONS:

Maximum skills allowed to a character are the combined scores of INT and EDU. Each level of a skill is considered to be a seperate skill for this purpose; i.e., Admin-4 counts as 4 skills for this determination.

Space Combat

Distance die modifiers are based on Classic Traveller's 'Starships' booklet.

For field repairs to ship systems by boarding party or engineering crew, add the total Engineering skill of the crew, divided by the number of crewmen working on that system. Round off to the nearest whole number. This is the DM to be applied to the Damage Control roll. On a roll of 9+, the system is repaired.

Example: Three engineers with Engineering skills of 3, 2 and 2 are in a work party field repairing the power plant. The total Engineering skill pool is 7, the DM is +2. On a roll of 7+, the attempt succeeds and the power plant regains 1 USP factor.
