List of Skills

[Chabit Rane]

Hi all. I'm doing a little project right now and I need a complete list of skills. I keep finding skills in various supplements, but has any one compiled a complete listing of skills?

[garhkal]

Not that i know of. But we could use this thread to make one..

I'll take a look around... I think I might have a long list of a bunch of skills. If I find it, I'll post it for you.

[darthomer09]

And keep in mind that all of the skills can have individual specializations.

I love how open-ended the D6 skills system is. You can always come up with a new skill or specialization....

Yep. I guess that flexibility is why D6 is still alive with us because it can adapt even though the Star Wars universe has changed like it has.

Yeah, I think that's the one I had in my files. Thanks for posting it, DW!

[Chabit Rane]

Wow, DW. Thats a great list. Thanks .

I think the skills and specializations freedoms are one of the best things about the d6 system too. It allows more freedom to work the game system for personal tastes than other systems.

Thanks all.

[garhkal]

Dude that was great... but what is the (A) linguistics skill good for?

I'm not exactly sure, but maybe its for teaching others the language?

I would imagine that it would signify a person who's well-versed in the technical aspects of languages in general; they'd have an innate understanding of the general rules of how languages are put together, an intuitive ability to figure them out, and a much greater chance of correctly translating them.

A person with the Linguistics Advanced Skill is someone who is intimate with language- both spoken and non-verbal. They'll be very adept at creating new languages, deciphering old ones, and might even be good at correctly pronouncing languages that others have a hard time with- even "dead" languages. Their studies will allow them to know the root meanings of words in their original languages, thereby giving them a more precise knowledge of what the word was intended to mean.

I would imagine that, perhaps on a bit of a stretch, as governed by the GM, the Linguistics skill might even be coupled with Computer Programming to give the character more flexibility in their slicing; i.e., the ability to more easily create new programming languages, the chance to identify what language a particular line of code was written in, or even to know the patterns inherent in Imperial code vs. Alliance/New Republic code.

This is one of those skills that not too many people are going to be interested in giving their character, because it's a higly intellectual skill, not well-suited for blaster play. It will take a special breed of player- one who's interested in creating either a well-rounded character, or one who's higly specialized in some of the more academic pursuits. Now, understand that Jedi fall into that category. A Jedi who has this skill is going to be much more well-suited to reading old printed texts, and therefore will be able to distinguish between Jedi and Sith manuscripts, for example. So there ARE practical uses for such a skill; a player simply has to be willing to invest the CPs to give it to their character. Also, a clever GM will find ways to reward such a player for this move by coming up with puzzles and situations which are greatly aided by having this skill.

That help?

Sounds great to me. I especially like the computer languages link. Definitely some potential there. Nice work!
