Yesterday I ran the first AP using six out of the seven pregens for my players. Turns out that only one (1!) of these pregens is learned in the Culture skill, while the AP keeps asking for Culture rolls over and over again. That would be the human envoy, which unfortunately was the only pregen not chosen by my players.

And since Culture cannot be used unlearned we were pretty flabbergasted by the absence of the Culture skill in our group?! So without the human envoy these pregen characters are not able to solve the first AP?! They also don't come with any of the profession skills used as alternative for the culture rolls.

On the other hand most of them come with high enough ranks in Computers (rather reduntant), which is what I had them roll to get the first few bits of information before doing the leg-work.
