Many ranks within Guardsman’s career provide skill at only Basic level Quick Draw 100 T Ag 30
instead of Trained as usual. In all such cases there is ”+Basic” added after Sound Constitution 100 T —
the skill name in these ranks. Some choices may require these “+Basic” lines
Two-Weapon Wielder (Ballistic) 200 T BS 35, Ag 35
as prerequisites, in which case the “+Basic” must be taken even when the
character would otherwise have the Basic level or better acquired already.
