Demolitions, nice. Too bad the gain wasn't greater.

@Raiko.
A couple of questions:
1. "11 skill checks" is that take 11 points and distribute at least 5 on profession skills and optional 6 on others, or as suggested 11 separate skillcheck rolls?
2. I rolled 9 points increase in EDU. Does that affect my skill points as well?

@Raiko.

1) That's 11 separate skillcheck rolls, as some of the others have done. However, I would have been fine with the same skill being rolled more than once. If anyone is really pissed that they rolled once per skill, then I'm certainly okay with swapping a passed skill check roll (from the 11) to another skill that the roll would have passed for (e.g. if Silver Priest wanted a few more points of demolition for Marcus).
The reason that I'd gone for skill check rolls is that it's the way 7E handles paid "downtime" training/education - with four months per training session. I'm not bothered about the cost of training/education, so i just divided the time up.

2) Yes, you get either 2x the increase, or 4x the increase in occupational skill points, depending on how your occupation handles skill points.

I'm trying allow you to make the best use of the years between the chapters, which CoC still doesn't handle so well - considering it's quite well suited to adventures that span decades. It's got much better than earlier editions, but I was surprised that there's no actual guidelines or rules for increasing EDU in game or during years of downtime (other once every decade or two).

Sorry for the mass of dice rolls, this is the first time I've tried something like this.

My son's show has finished now. Fingers crossed I'll have chapter one started very soon.

[Silver Priest]

Nice. I hope it went well.

In this case, I'm going to take the 6 points I got from track and put them along with the 2 bonus increase from EDU into demolitions, giving Marcus a grand total of 10 in the skill.

[Mr. Handy]

Great, you know just enough about explosives to get into trouble.

[Zero]

As long as Atauchi has a good running start, it's all good.

[Silver Priest]

Great, you know just enough about explosives to get into trouble.

That's what all the luck will hopefully be for. Though I also might want to save it for dodge.

Great.
Taking a away my 11 points added to spot hidden +8 and stealth +3

And instead using EDU increase roll too:
Professor has EDU x 4 for occupation so 9*4 =36 to professional skills
Adding 18 to Spot Hidden total 80%
Adding 10 to Persuade for total 50%
Adding 5 to Library Use for total 70%
Adding 3 to History for total 77%

Ah, I've forgotten to add the 4 skill points following my whopping +1 EDU increase. I'll do that presently.

@Raiko Any chance at helping Atauchi with his phobia during the downtime with some psychotherapy?

Yes, lets say it's gone - you can remove it from your character sheet, and won't suffer from it whether sane or insane. But if you suffer another episode of insanity in a confined space it'll almost certainly be back with a vengeance.
