"Experienced" Characters?
Hi guys!
Ok, wanted to see if this sounds reasonable for general consumption.
I've noticed several comments about deciding what number of advancements to give to a character to represent a 'basic' character for that level of competence.
Playing around, I think I've figured that the following work well (for me at least, YMMV)
"Department Head" level (2-3 years of active service) - 6 advancements (including the one actually in the book labeled Department Head Advancement :D )
"First Officer" level (5 - 6 years of active service) - another 6 for total of 12 advancements
"Captain" level (10 - 12 years of active service) - (This is the competant, atypical command figure) 20 advancements
Again, these are the guidelines that I feel comfortable using. How about you other folk out there? What have you found to give the right "feel" for a experienced character?
