I think this is a good place to bring up some of the curious things that happen with a system where dierolls depect character gen.  The number of languages is dependant upon your Knowledge..which is dependant upon a die roll.  Not everyone is multilingual.  The number of AOK's depend on the same stat.  Even then.. 'chosen' AOK's only happen roughly 20% of the time..the rest are random.  (Which is why there are a lot of agents who have masters degrees in Agriculture.. seems to always happen)  Even after AOK's are chosen.. the level of proficiency itself..is just a die roll.<br/><br/>Thus the danger.. one can pick alot of skills.. but when the die is cast..the character comes out completely different.  Such is also the risk of having English as a second language.  A character may end up being unplayable.. or difficult to play... depending how nice or mean the dice are feeling.<br/><br/>What it all adds up to is.. we need to work together to mold the characters.  And..the unfortunate reality is sometimes people arn't all equal.  A character is what you make of them.  I once had a secret agent who before spy life was a refrigerator repair man. (started out as a spoof..and ended up being a decent spy.. if abit 'middle class')<br/><br/>
