Nice post. I agree with almost everything except for:

A good rule of thumb is if you add all of the 10 main skills (people call this "total skill points" or TSP). An average 18yo will start with 35.

I think 35 is a little low, even for an average 18-yr-old. With that few points, you are a year behind training already. Might as well use the money saved from not training that guy for a year and paying his trainer and put it into a 19-yr-old with better skills.

I read this years ago and have roughly followed this for getting trainees:

Those are minimums and include all 12 skills tho.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I think you're right, Kumiko.

I did my math wrong. 18yo's have starting skills between 1-7, assuming they're evenly distributed, the average player would start out (ignoring STA/FT) with 40 TSP - not 35. Oops! And I'm advocating that any trainee you buy ought to be above average. If you consider all 12 skills, 48 TSP would be "average." Your 60 threshold means every skill would be 1 better than "average." I like that as a benchmark.

It's good to know, also, that the further above 48 TSP (including FT/STA) you go, the fewer players have been generated. And the highest TSP an 18yo could have be would be 84. That can give you some perspective on the market and where a player you're considering buying is.
