Before you move on be sure to pick that new skill up!

That definitely sounds like me so I had to go back and check. It looks like I did roll on the advanced education options table for this one and got Advocate +1.

Is that right?

Sure... the order is wrong but lets go with what you have.

If you are already in the career...
Gain a skill roll in your career focus area, then
... roll for survival, ... if you survive...
Roll for advancement... if successful you get a rank benefit and another skill table roll.

Gotcha. I definitely had a struggle with the order of operations for first career when I was leaning on the book. Second term in the same career seems straightforward. I'll roll it all up and get the Term 3 narrative sorted out today.

For future clarity, if I choose to leave Scholar for something else going into Term 4, I roll for benefits as normal for the career I'm ditching?

Yep... if you have benefits you can go ahead and grab them on the way out of the career.
Or if you prefer, you can do it all at the end. In that case, you just need to keep track of what you have coming to you.
You only get 3 cash benefits in a lifetime... you take as many of the other benefits as you have coming. They are usually worth more anyone!

If you have a little time (you can get sucked into this fast), play with this simple MgT2 generator... just watching the prompts will help you visualize the whole thing quickly.

BE WARNED... this little CC mini game can get quite addictive!

Okay, I added the connection to Vex in the Term 2 event and rolled through Term 3 continuing as Scholar. Got an interesting event this time so I'm going to see what A7ice has at Term 3 in case I might be able to incorporate them into the weird, body-snatching science cult he apparently worked for. I believe it is correct and ready to be checkpointed.

Nicely done... you're good to move ahead!

Quick question about this event I got for the Scout Career

When dealing with an alien species , you have an opportunity to gather extra intelligence about them. Roll either Electronics 8+ or Deception 8+. If you succeed, gain an Ally in the Imperium and DM+2 to your next advancement roll. If you fail, roll on the Mishap table but you are not ejected from this career.

Do I include any characteristic bonus to this or is it flat Electronics with no specialty?

[savoylen]

You are welcome to use general skill but don't forget your characteristic DM.
Good luck!

[NoizePollution]

Okay, I think that rounds out Term 4. I'm probably going to stop there and muster out all my benefits but I'm gonna sit on that thought for a bit today before I commit.

[savoylen]

Sounds great... when you feel up to it, go ahead and do your benefits.
I'll do your checkpoint soon and let you know if we need to tweak anything.

Thanks... and congrats on surviving Traveller Character Generation !!!

[savoylen]

Nicely done on Term for... and JOT!!
Other than one mislabeled roll, your Lifepath looks AMAZING!

You're ready for benefits... and there will be a group skill package to add (once the other two are finished up with their last term) before we publish this.

Nicely done!

[savoylen]

Please see this thread for the skills package pick off!

I'll make one final pass and then get you on board!

Looks like you're ready for the crew.

I am just finishing up my initial equipment purchase and I can't recall if there is a TL we should be using for availability on our initial stuff. Is that a thing?
