[Rq-rules] Background Experience (RQ III)

[Styopa]

Frankly, INT is already too much of a powergamer stat anyway, IMO.

The best way, if you have a tool that can do it quickly (someone whip up an
excel spreadsheet?), would be to say that if the background skill tables
give you "x3" for a skill, give them 3 skill checks against it.

And then, heck, i(f you have the tool) give them at the end a "x1" roll on
every non-zero skill, just to mix it up.

The result is people with natural aptitude for certain things (ie high mods)
end up getting slightly higher skills in those areas.
(Note: IMG I have the players write their skill in the slot on the sheet,
and then roll against THAT raw number (with a plus to the roll equal to
their category modifier).
