In some cases I've adjusted the mathematical formulation to be +X for the 1st skill rank, rather than -Z for no ranks, having no affect on probabilities but making parsing and applying the rule in play more straightforward. I've also incorporates a little bit from Legal skill in Book 7, which I fold into Admin taking the view that a separate Legal skill doesn't add anything to the game:Officials and Bureaucracy Day-to-Day Interactions To avoid harassment and arrest by police or other enforcement agencies, and to avoid close inspection of documents by officials (eg police, customs agents, clerks, etc): Throw law level or higher, once per day and whenever officials are encountered (DM -1 if acting illegally). To resolve normal interaction with officials when they are approached (eg avoid close inspection of papers necessary for bank transactions, cargo transfers, personal identification, etc; ensure prompt issue of licence; allow approval of application; etc): Throw 10+ (DMs +5 if Admin-1, +2 per additional level of expertise; or +2 per level of Liaison expertise; a reaction DM may also apply, and inspection always occurs on a reaction result of 2); To be found in compliance if inspected, throw 7+ (DMs +1 per level of Admin expertise; -5 if anything illegal on person, in ship, in papers, etc that are subject to inspection); To avoid discovery of forged or faked documents that are inspected, throw 9+ (DM +2 per level of Forgery expertise). The referee will exercise control over blatant use of forged documents worth over Cr 200, or repeated use in the same location. To bribe a petty official (whose reaction is non-committal or better) to ignore regulations or poor documentation: Make a cash offer and throw 13+ (or 20+, with additional DM + law level of the world, as set by the referee); if this is refused, a second throw may be made with the cash offer doubled (DMs +6 if Bribery-1, +1 per additional level of expertise, +2 if the official’s reaction result is 12) A bribe that is refused will be reported on a throw of 3-. To learn the name of an official who will issue licences without hassle, or the location of high quality guns at a low price, or for other activities or to obtain specified items: Throw 10+ (official), 14+ (guns), or an appropriate throw set by the referee (DM +6 if Streetwise-1, +1 per additional level of expertise; or +3 if Liaison-1, +1 per additional level of expertise). You'll see that these rules also rely on the Reaction Roll subsystem.</blockquote>
