Recently I posted a question to the TML. I didn't receive
an answer, and it seems like a rather simple question. I asked:
How does a character who already has a skill gain an AT in that
skill through experience only?
There are 280 people on this list. All of them play
Traveller. Someone has to know the answer to this! Please read
page 41-42 in the Players Handbook, specifically the passages where
it says:
. . . if the character succeeds, he receives a temporary
skill level-0 for use in the next task attempt with this skill (and
then loses the skill level-0)
and
If the character already has the pertinent skill, success
increases the skill one level.
Two of my players and I have puzzled over this and we can't
find an answer.
Also, is this the correct process for gaining an AT for an
unskilled character? 1) observe (task of Diff, Determination). If
successful, gain skill observed skill at level-0. 2) Try out skill
at level-0. If successful, gain an AT in that skill. 3) Once you
think you have sufficient AT's for a skill, succeed in (Formidable,
AT, Int) to gain that skill at level 1.
