Unskilled vs. Base Trait -- at least when I think about it -- depends on
how complex the task is, and whether an aptitude exists. For PC's, though,
I almost always go with unskilled. :-)

A side note on Marshaling: feel free to give any NPC any aptitude you
wish, don't be bound by what's printed (or what you can figure out). If in
doubt, and you want the NPC to have a the ability at a base level, roll
2d6. Don't stall the game trying to look up something like this, that's
for certain (not that you did, of course).

The Wound penalties affect every action -- they represent physical damage,
to an extent, but mostly a character's inability to function while in
extreme pain. Arms and legs work okay until they're maimed, if I recall
correctly.

HTH,
