Free Starting Dots on Certain Knowledges, Etc...

It is assumed that characters born in the United States or the first world will have certain knowledges or skills that are inherent to them as a part of growing up in their time and place.

For that reason, any PC born after 1975 may at the player's choice take one free starting dot in computers.

PC's born after 1920 may at their choice take one free starting dot in drive.

Born prior to 1920 may at their choice take one free starting dot in ride (horses)

Players may at their choice take one dot in Area Knowledge for the area they were born in.

Subject to ST approval or decision on sheet review, with the proper story, a person may also be given an automatic dot in most any other knowledge, skill or ability.
