Different games/GM's. In ours, just like there is a limit on stats,
there is a limit on skills. The max is 10. Why? Because you don't need
higher.

Take a look at the modules FASA puts out. Other then Dragons & Free
Spirits when have you ever seen anyone with a skill higher then 10.
There might be one I have missed, but I can't think of any.

Also in our games we get a max of about 5 Karma per session. If it was
real dangerous.

So if we are playing in an upscaled world I could of course modify Orion
and Warloc. I was under the impression though that stats and skill
levels were not important. So suffice it to say I consider Orion one
hell of a decker and Warloc a very competent Druid.
