====== Skills ======

Some notes on skills for Mongoose Traveller.

===== Electronics =====

Electronics (Computers) can be used for bypassing electronic security systems.

===== Languages =====

By default, everyone speaks Anglic. Aliens will speak their own native tongue. NPCs may speak only a local tongue (people in the //Islands// may speak languages derived from old Earth languages).

Taking //Language 0// gives you Anglic //or// Vilani if you don't already have it, plus the ability to make Language checks for common words and phrases in common languages (Aslan, Vargar etc).

**Specialisations**: Each other language is a specialisation, you need +1 level to speak it well enough for most purposes, +2 level to be completely fluent.


===== Mechanics =====

Also covers welding, repairing and similar low tech engineering work, even if done on a ship.

Tends to be INT based rather than EDU.

===== Profession =====

Split into different specialities, but can't default to the parent skill.
