I suppose it depends on what you see as rigid. Somewhere between "just good enough to get hired, hasn't been in the job long" at 17 and "not quite as good as the Legion Champion (yet)" at 2W3, for someone who's already in the group and is now being promoted from NPC to PC. That's combat skills only, of course, and it's other skills that we're usually more interested in anyway.
