If your character doesn't qualify in the beginning for a gadgeteer, and the first level-up he still doesn't qualify, will he still improve his omni-gun during the level-up?

I'm asking this because I saw on a website a table with races versus classes and the (i think) bonus-points you get for the combination. I would like a dwarven gadgeteer in my first party, but in the table it says -15 for that combination. I don't know exactly what it means, but I'm guessing he will be an apprentice for the first level-ups. And if he doesn't improve his omni-gun from the start, I will take a race that's more suitable for gadgeteer.

I was also wondering if EVERY attribute (strength etc.) you max out, will get you an expert skill to develop.

Thanks for the help,

iam not so sure what you want to know

1: it doesnt matter what race your gadgeteer is. he will improve the omnigun every second level up.

2: perhaps a dwarve is not the best choice for the gadgeteer because his statistic would not be the best, but this doesnt matter so much.

What I meant was, when you take a race that is totally unsuited for a class, like a faery fighter, even while spending all of your bonus points, you haven't got enough to obtain all the minimum attributes of the class (so I read on the board, still haven't got my copy, so I can't try character development yet) and you start as an apprentice in the class.
What I would like to know, can an apprentice do all the things a full member of a class could, like upgrading the omnigun at level-up, if you're an engineer?
