Traveller Pointbuy Cahrgen

This allows you to quickly build a skilled character using a skill point buy
system.

Skill toploading in beginning terms lets you create a more skilled character
without
making 50 year old charactrs.

In real life we see Navy Seals in their 20's who are at peak gun cbt skill of 4 or
5.
We learn most of what we are going to learn before we are 30.

This system allows for that.

You can use any of the Traveller careers from any of the Classic books.

Make the normal rolls for enlistment, survival, commission, promotion, assignment,
etc as the
particular career service requires.

But instead of randomly rolling for skills, just pick your skills from the tables
provided for that career.
