 * There are certain commonalities that address the human biological requirements: air, shelter, water and food. This takes most survival skills up to rating-15 and is enough to keep most folk alive in inhospitable environments long enough to be rescued.
 * After 15 points, particular specializations must be declared. New specializations may taken later, and start at rating-15.
