Optional Expanded Education Level Table for Ninjas & Superspies and
Heroes Unlimited: 2nd Edition:
Optional Consideration: I.Q. should definitely play a factor in the rolling of this table. The table should be
unchanged for characters with I.Q. stats between 8 and 12. Each point below 8 should impart a -7% roll on the
table, while a stat above 12 should impart a +7% roll. Keep in mind that is cumulative, so a character with an
I.Q. of five should have a -21% roll, while a character with an I.Q. of 17 should have a +35% roll on the table.
Further Note: I've made some changes to the material here http://www.geocities.com/kuseru/ (some of the
percentile numbers were broken and reworked and also the number of skill programs and pre-requisitives in
some cases were too high, so they were scaled down).

A couple of general things to remember:
Gizmoteer Skill Programs-- The Basic Gizmoteer Construction Skill comes with any selection of a Gizmoteer
Skill Program. This skill is used to determine the success when combining various elements of other skills into a
workable product. The skill percentage is 40%+3% per level.
Espionage Skill Programs-- Espionage Skill Programs may be used in place of Rogue or Police Skill Programs for
GMs who don't want to use these skill programs in their games.
Rogue Skill Programs-- These are a new sub-category of Espionage skill programs, and at the GMs option, may
be taken by anyone with access to Espionage skill programs.
Police Skill Programs-- These are a new sub-category of Espionage skill programs, and at the GMs option, may
be taken by anyone with access to Espionage skill programs.
Medical Skill Programs-- These now become a sub-category of Basic skill programs. However, these programs
are limited to characters who have achieved the educational level of Master's (spent years of study, although
not a legal, practicing doctor) and Doctorate Ph.D (a legal, full-fledged doctor). Characters with less education
must settle for paramedic and/or holistic medicine. First Aid is available as a secondary skill. Note: The
Science Program must also be selected to be an M.D.
Basic Military Skill Program--This doesn't necessarily have to be the one from N&S, especially when you take
into consideration that Wet Navies, Space Navies, Marines, Air Forces, etc. (i.e. the different branches of
service) are going to have different sets of skills that they would teach as part of their Basic program.
Military Occupational Specialty-- MOSs can be either the MOS style skill programs (ala Southern Cross) or
Military skill programs as found in N&S (and on the N&S GMs Netbook).
Primary MOS--This is typically a cut down version of the OCC skills to represent the nominal basics of what the
OCC would be taught, in addition to basic military skills.
Secondary MOS--this is typically a second (or one of several other) area(s) where the character has received
military training.
Basic Skill Programs--These are either basic (home-schooled, basic schooling, etc) education or professional
(collegiate, On-The-Job, Tech school) training that a character has learned from other than military sources
(well, except in those cases where the military structure does all a culture's education).
Basic Skill Programs from Heroes Unlimited or Ninjas & Superspies that state, "select x number of category
skills". If a skill program is selected a second time, the player can make four skill selections of choice from
whatever skills are left in the Skill Category that seems appropriate (most are self-evident; i.e. Doctor selects
from medical and/or science skill category, mechanic from mechanical skills, etc.), or whatever skills remain
in the overall Category, whichever is less. For example, there might only be one or two skills available under
the Mechanical Category, but it would be a significant one, like Robot and/or Aircraft Mechanics.

Gizmoteer Skill Programs
Gizmoteer: Armor Construction
by Tinker Dragoon
This program allows a character to make and repair
all kinds of conventional body armors, both ancient
and modern, including the concealed types.
Equivalent to the armor creation skill of the
Hardware: Analytical Genius from HU. For those
without the book: Any of the armors listed in the
equipment section can be made at 10% of the listed
cost. Ancient armors require 12 hours of work for
each 10 SDC, and modern armors require 24 hours
of work for each 10 SDC. The character can also
modify armors, adding up to +10% of the total
armor SDC without decreasing the mobility of the
armor. A maximum of +25% can be added to a suit
of armor, but then it will be heavy and slightly
awkward (-1 to all combat rolls and -10% to
physical skills). AR can also bbe increased by a
maximum of 2 points. The light bullet-proofing
clothing gimmick can also be constructed at $500
per 10 SDC, to a maximum of 40 SDC absorption.
Another trick is to build small weapons like pistols,
stun guns, spike launchers, etc., into armor,

3. Police: Fire & Rescue is limited to the High

animals (could provide basic first aid, however
attempting a diagnosis or treatment on a human
patient will reduce skill performance by one-half).
7. Field Naturalist requires Trade School or a
