Been doing that for 20 years. Harnmaster/Gunmaster treats Initiative as a skill, although its initial level is worked out a bit differently to other skills. Skills in Harnmaster/Gunmaster are percentiles. Initial Initiative = Endurance + Dexterity + Agility + Speed + Will. The Skill Base for Initiative is initial Initiative / 5. To determine whether Initiative (or any other skill) improves when a skill check is received you have to roll under (on a d100) theoretical maximum skill level - current skill level. Theoretical max skill level = (Skill Base x 5) + 25%.
