Pretty sure you know what's coming. Support Personnel Experience Table (and basically the base TN chart for such, pg 168)

How do I integrate this with uneven AToW skills courtesy players or NPCs? And if it applies, how do I handle Astechs for skills? I could hackney it but I'd like to know if there's some official 'here what do' I can use to analogue the skills.

(I only now realized that other people can't formally input to the thread, so posting twice [here and AToW] SEEMS useless, but if you have cites/an answer I'll put it up here for the masses to see. Crowdsourcing!!)

Please allow 1 month prior to bumping.
The solution is just ignore Paul.

Sure!... sorry. (I'm really misstepping a lot lately...) Am I allowed to post about it in AToW, or should I just leave it here

Might get more attention over there.

Posting it over there is absolutely fine. This thread'll get answered regardless, but it can take a while sometimes.

I may have an answer from http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,33178.0.html and I'll collect and summarize (and post to the other thread I made, I believe these can both be considerd 'answered' unless the staff would like to research more which I welcome)

Injury mods can stack up into the -4/-5 but medical gear can reduce that to a 1pt penalty... and that lines up the TNs.

The Technician - skills in StratOps are all based on the same TW roll-under system, so have to be considered as inverse.

In essence, you start with a TN of 8, subtract the average of the skills needed for the job and compare that to the TN in the table you're referring to. This gives the equivalent experience level for that task, and the TN they'd need.

My personal solution is going to be straight using AToW skills and check values when they are available and the Support Personnel StratOps approximations when they are not.
