I-071: Spanial (Hyperspace to Roseman)

Oliver’s Skill GURPSing

So, on Oliver’s character sheet lockpicking is two skills Lockpicking (Analog) and Lockpicking (Digital).

In the rules, Lockpicking is a single skill. 

It looks like Oliver has been set up with two optional skill specialisations that mean they can both be advanced separately as Easy skills instead of Average skills.  I don’t remember having that conversation, but it was nearly a decade ago now…

It’s probably easier if Lia just goes with the regular Lockpicking skill.

Time Requirement

I think if Oliver basically gives Lia a three-day training course, she can then use an XP point to get the skill – everyone OK with that?

So that would be 3 x 8 = 24 hours = 1 Cycle of training.

However, there’s an opportunity cost to spending this time, and I don’t think it’s reasonable of me to dictate what the characters should give up.  So, below is a comparison of Oliver’s and Lia’s schedules.  When would you like to make the time?
