Notes:

* This is the highest skill level possible for one of your starting dwarfs.

** These levels are only assumed to exist - they existed in 23a and 40d but were never visible in game (they were confirmed via an examination of the game code, and they had visible effects on quality of goods produced), but it's unclear if they still do in 31.01.^Verify
