Amazing how common sense can help, isn't it? :)

Yep. I'd tend to assume it was at keyword level unless obviously not, but that may just be me being lazy.

(grin) no, probably not these days. But then I tend to think that her comparatively low "warrior" keyword is because she's ten years out of practice at being a simple warrior, and that keyword's actually *dropped* with time, while the Combat skills have stayed fairly high. For that specific example, though, try using her Vigilance affinity instead (well, some feat or other off it at -5).
And that raises an interesting point in itself. Unused skills dropping with lack of practice. Anything that uses this Saga System to fill in year-long gaps would need to allow for that, too. Any guesses, anyone?
