Worth it for nostalgia...?

Wrong. There is an improvement system, in book 3.

Given you maybe got a few skills every 4 years in careers that were supposed to be active, giving extra skills after a few game sessions seems inconsistent.

That number is, in CT basic gen, 1 to (T+T1+C+P+S+R) 6 per term, with an average around 1.8 across all careers and terms to 12th.

None give less than CT basic gen.
Also, T20 and TNE both use 1d20 for tasks... and T4/T5 use Nd6 <= (Att+Skill).
