Watercraft-1, Small Blade-0, Tactics-1, Swimming-1, SCUBA-0, Soft Marial Arts (Aikido)-1,

I misread the typo as 'Soft Marital Arts' and thought "how sweet!"

FWIW, here's (a version of?) mine (limited to Mongoose 2 core skills):

Timothy Collinson (4598A7)

University (1 term), Drifter (1 term), Librarian (7 terms) (that latter might more formally be either Citizen or Scholar depending)

Admin 2, Art (write) 2, Art (performer) 2, Art (instrument) 1, Drive (wheel) 1, Electronics (computers) 1, Language (western European) 1, Broker 0, Carouse 0, Flyer (wing) 0, Gun Combat (slug) 0, Persuade 0, Science (linguistics) 0, Science (theology) 0, Seafarer (ocean ships) 0, Steward 0

* of course I wouldn't describe two years of volunteer work on a bookship and two years of either part time or temporary jobs while looking for a professional post 'Drifter' but it's what it amounts to in Traveller terms.

I might be persuaded Seafarer should be 1 but it was all a long time back. Drive might be 0 and I'm basing Broker 0 on skills learned bargaining in markets in Nigeria which was also a while back. Friends might argue that my Carouse should be 1 not based on partying but on the socialising and thriving on social situations (but between CFS limiting that a lot and the core book specifically saying "social awareness and subterfuge", I think 0 is fair). :-)

Language is difficult as I can manage chunks of French, German, Swedish and Czech, bits of Spanish and Hausa, and phrases in stuff from all over (Finnish, Italian, Mandarin, Thai). Those give me an 'in' into lots of other languages (Swedish to Danish and even Norwegian; Czech to Slavic languages). I've lumped them all in one and claimed a 'Science' as well. That may be overly generous.

Things I'm good at but which aren't covered very specifically would be librariany things (database searching, cataloguing, classification etc) but which are really in Admin and Computers. Teaching/preaching I've lumped in with Art (performer) and Persuade but some rule sets have Instruction which I could probably claim a 1 in. Swimming probably ought to be in there somewhere.

Again, friends might point to me having JoT as I've tried my hand at so many things with reasonable success (mostly) but it's a conversation I'd have with the "Referee" as it can be overused! (I actually suspect most people on this list would be naturally inclined to JoT almost by default).
