And that's it for skills!

How do you imagine assigning levels to these? Do the players select how many points to invest in each, as usual, or are there campaign standards or guidelines?

It's hard to see how one character could have a higher personal wildcard skill than another. Is the former "more themselves" than the latter? More self-actualized? Or just older or more experienced?

Similarly, what do differences in BAT! skill level represent? A greater or lesser inclination towards polymathy or dabbling, or perhaps what Traveller used to call Jack-of-all-Trades skill?
