With all the customization in the game, I find it weird there seems to be nothing about Careers (or I have missed it, I am not reading the book in order).
For my Twilight Imperium campaign, I studied the book's basic careers and devised this template. I thought I would reshare here, for those who may not look at my Twilight Imperium thread because they were not interested in that setting.
CUSTOM CAREERS
Create your own career by picking 8 Career Skills using the following template:
Also I should stress, these are not just arbitrary choices I made. I used all the Role Based Careers in the book as a guideline
None of them have more than 6 General Skills, more than 3 Combat or Social. The only one that kind of breaks the mold is Leader which has 4 Social Skills, the rest are 3 or lower.
Actually if you wanted to make it fit the mold perfectly... make the first 4:
"Choose 4 Skills, 3 or 4 of them must be General Skills, 1 of them may be a Social Skill".
