[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 4044450, member: 29398"] If that's the RAW, I smell a houserule coming my way...I'm not even going to ask what (or even if) they were thinking when they dreamed that up. All I can say is I've never played or DMed that way in any edition.It's possible, but killing one or two PCs does not (usually) a level make. Worth noting, however. You've found a full-ride headache with 3e's skill system. As others have said, a system whereby commoners could gain ranks in non-adventuring skills without having to adventure would sure be nice.Sure, this might be how it works using the RAW, but it's still dead wrong. Any of the crew who took part in the battle (as opposed to just taking cover) should get some ExP for it, period.Which is how it should work regardless of who is on the ship or what feats they have or how they relate to anyone else on the ship. Sometimes you just have to stare your rulebook down, say to it "you're talking garbage", start houseruling, and pretend what you read in the rulebook was just a bad and quickly fading dream.
