'Brainy,' 'Deadly Strike' and 'Techie' are protected in that you can't run up your attributes or take a skill class and then pick them and lower the Attribute or delete the Skill Class. 'Attractive' is partially protected as you can't raise Charm to take it and then lower it after selecting Attractive, but you can take Slaver -3, choose 'Attractive' and then remove Slaver-3.You can get them with Adonis and/or Superb but you can't get those in a Rise start. You might still be able to get Crackshot with Sharpshooter (which you can then disable again) I don't remember if that's enough by itself but Deadly Strike is definitely a no without Soldier unless it's an enhanced start so you can pick Adonis/Superb. You cans till get soldier and then remove it after taking wildborn but not deadly strike. Not sure if that's intended or an oversight.
'Wildborn,' and 'Crafter' can be selected after choosing a Skill Class and the Skill Class can then be changed. I checked as I hadn't tried it myself and you can use 'Sharpshooter' to get enough RC for 'Crackshot' and then remove 'Sharpshooter.'
I doubt it's intended, I just think Grim has better things to do than rework it again to prevent the naughtiness that's still possible. He did after all prevent some of the...'tricks'...veteran character creators were employing to get what they wanted without paying the whole price, he just didn't get all of them.
