EUROSOLO in 2020
When creating a Eurosolo in the 2020 edition of Cyberpunk, remember
that he will have an automatic +2 in his General Knowledge skill and
+1 in a non-native European language. This reflects his greater level
of starting education and the EEC's more cosmopolitan theatre of action.
This advantage is balanced by subtracting one point from his Pickup
skills ( in general, Europeans in 2020 have far more structured
societies and less chance to experiment with life on the Street).

A typical EuroSolo will have a Combat Sense of +5 to +7

	EuroSolo Skills Package		Recommended Pickup Skills
	-------- ------ --------	----------- ------ ------
	Awareness			Business Sense
	Handgun				Culture
	Martial Arts			Social
	SMG				Driving
	Wardrobe and Style		Languages
	Athletics			Stealth
	Weapons Tech			Pilot (various craft)
	Corporate Policy		Persuation
	Expert (one subject)
Cyberwear should be kept to a minimum; cyberoptics,
cyberaudio, boosters, sometimes interface/chipware plugs.
Obvious cyberlimbs and implants are frowned upon.
For more detail, see Eurosource book.
