[Rq-rules] Have I Got This Right?

[royce at efn.org]

Hi, All,
   My apologies for asking such an elementary question, but here goes.
I've got my RQIII players book out, & I'm mentally generating a beginning
character.  As recommended, I start with a 21-year-old barbarian -- say, a
warrior.  Assume that agility nets to +2.
   Our barbarian warrior, Slayer Tim, selects 1H sword & Shield (how
original) for his primary weapon set.  Page 26 cultural weapons table
says 1H sword skill starts at 25.  At age 21, Slayer Tim gets six years
of experience, 1H weapon X4, which gives +24.  With his agility +2,
Slayer Tim totals skill 51 with a 1H sword.
   Is that a correct accounting to determine the character's starting
sword skill level?
   Corrections are warmly welcome.
   Sincerely,
Asher
