I took the liberty of compiling a list of skills that a character could possibly receive based on the tech code of his homeworld, and came up with the following comprehensive lists for T20. These lists include the skills associated with tech code up to two lower, as the rulebook indicates that a character can select from those as well.
I think it creates an interesting view of the potential lifestyles of the people at these tech codes, though I don't think it's entirely what I want. For example, Very Low Tech characters should also have a choice of Ride, and perhaps even Spot and Trader, instead of all those options that give Survival. Or perhaps Ride and Survival can be replaced with other skills, since the Very Low Tech and Low Tech characters get a skill rank in each of them, anyway.
What are your thoughts?
