Second Advanced Education table - CT B01 style chargen
Christopher Sean Hilton 28 Apr 2026 15:55 UTC
## Overview
The second advanced education table is only available to players with a UPP[EDU] >= 8. In my
generator NPC's bias their rolls towards both of the AE tables if they satisfy that UPP
requirement.
_Q:_ What do other GMs / Referees thing of biasing skill rolls to these tables?
============================================================
## Details
Today I'm working on my Classic Traveller Book 1 character generator.
I mentions that I was writing a slackbot for my game campaign. We've recently played two
session over Slack and it's worked out well. After the first session, I started working on
my bot for Slack and added:
- Die Rolling
- Encounters
### Regarding Chargen
I'm working on chargen because I want to enhance the encounter generator that I wrote with
automatic character generation. I have a character generation that doesn't need much,
basically:
- [x] the ability print out a character for direct human consumption:
```
(venv) naboo-arm64 trav-char $ python -m trav_char --service scout --count 1 --heroes --seed 42
============================================================
UPP: 6A7FD5
Service: Scouts
Rank: Scout
Terms: 7
Age: 46
Cash: Cr80000
Skills:
Electronics-1, Engineering-1, Jack-o-Trade-3, Mechanical-2, Pilot-2, Vehicle-1
Benefits:
Scout
```
- [-] the ability to print out the same character using JSON notation to make it easy to
pass that character between programs.
```
(venv) naboo-arm64 trav-char $ python -m trav_char --service scout --count 1 --heroes --seed 42 --json
[
