The skills listed above are those gained after a fairly long career, including a few level-0 skills the characters would have picked up during that time, as well as a set of 'everyman' skills which seemed more appropriate to their origins in the Caliburn system than the standard rulebook ones. Everyone has at least one gun combat skill due to the low law level of the Caliburn system
