Recruiting (19981110)
Assuming a PC spends pretty much the whole month recruiting,
they get a number of rolls equal to:
+1 roll for each 40 AP earned +1 roll for each Point spent on Titles +1
roll for each Rank above Lieutenant
For recruiting Mechwarriors, the skills used are: Protocol, Seduction,
Streetwise
PCs must roll once on each skill before they can roll again
on the same skill. (i.e. if a PC gets 5 rolls, he rolls once
for each skill and can roll on two other skills).

a Regular, +3 mode for an Elite.
