I've already thought about this. One pitfall will be having 4 times more survival rolls. With a straight d20 roll, there's no bell curve and so even DC 2 or 3 rolls will probably eventually fail if you have to roll 16-28 of them in your prior history.
Hmmm....yes, but with some posting, survival would be pretty automatic.
I really liked the specialist schools and MOS's and stuff like that. I was thinking you could create a group of special service school feats, like:
Sapper School Graduate:
Character gains +1 Bonus in following skills: Combat Engineering, Demolitions, and Hide; Stackable with Skill Focus
or
Naval Propulsion School Graduate:
Character gains +1 Bonus in following skills: T/Electronics, T/Gravatics, and T/Mechanics; Stackable with Skill Focus
I was originally thinking to just give the school attendees a straight skill bonus, but that's not really in keeping with d20 skill and level restrictions. Just a thought. Later
