Here are the reworked Oghma-specific Careers, with their Oghma Life Events table included on each document. I've tweaked some events slightly, while I was copying in the Life table, so Slaves and Free Oghmans have some different experiences, and a couple of career events were adjusted slightly too:

Natives of Oghma would use these career options:

Non-natives would take at least one term in another career, fail a survival roll, and use this career:

House Rule:

When you gain a skill roll the dice then pick the column. This gives you some control over your skill acquisition while retaining a random element.

Extra Points

Each character will get two chances to acquire/increase skills/stats:

1: The Connection Rule. Create and describe a link to another character (PC), and how that link gives you a personal improvement ( Skill or Stat point )

2: Campaign Point. Free point to spend on either a skill level or a stat point

Another "house rule".

Jack of All Trades is capped at 2, and applies to skills related to the character's career and culture. It is not universally applicable. So, for example, it won't apply to languages or sciences.

JOT does not count toward total skill levels for establishing the time taken to learn or improve a skill. Possession of JOT 1+ reduces the time by one week.

(i.e. a character has Pilot 2, Blade 1, JOT 2. Instead of a total of five the total is three. JOT takes off another week, meaning it would only take two weeks study to try to raise or gain a skill.)
