Complete Skills List

cheshire · Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:03 pm Post subject: Complete Skills List

I kept having to check various documents while I've been converting characters, and I got sick of it. So, I made a list of all the skills that I could find.

http://www.4shared.com/file/118045765/ddfae9d4/Complete_Skills_List.html

If you find any that are missing, please let me know. Give me a citation, and I'll update it.

Cleaning is a skill?

I was surprised too. I found it on a website and verified its existence. It was a skill listed under ZZ-4Z's stat block in the Dark Empire Sourcebook. Only the book that brought you a reborn emperor could also give you cleaning as a skill option.

I just updated the file. I was double checking a few of the skills that were listed. I found one that wasn't supposed to be in the list, and I found three or four that were missing from the compilation.

This is a great resource, Cheshire. While the color coding is helpful, it would be great to also see a version where the references outside the Core Rulebooks are listed (i.e. "Dark Empire Sourcebook, pg. Z") - only necessary for those more unusual skills not included in the 2nd Ed. or 2nd R&E.

Also, what's the difference between the orange and purple backgrounds?

Thanks for your efforts!

Orange and purple don't indicate anything in particular, it just makes it easier for me to tell where one skill/specialization ends and the other begins. Much like the fact that there is no difference between the gray and white.

I may add the page references, though perhaps in another document.

Yes indeed. It was one of the sources I consulted when creating the list. Sometimes it was not entirely accurate. For exmaple, the accrobatics was listed under dexterity and not under strength.

I'm doing some double-checking on many of their skills, but so far it seems to be 95% accurate.

There was another source that was less complete, but fully documented with page numbers. The documentation was really quite nice.

Actually I'd say Cleaning is a Technical skill. You have to know which equipment and which technique to use for each kind of cleaning... It's more of a repair skill than anything...

Nope STRength makes sense. Cleaning professionally is pure hard graft. Climbing requires technical knowledge and skill but we happily lump it in strength to reflect the requirement to have good body conditioning upon which the build and apply that knowledge.

Uncharacteristically (and only briefly) rising above the temptation to throw in an ill judged joke.

I think that Cheshire is to be congratulated and thanked on creating a resource bereft of houserules.

I for one would have been tempted to play my usual game of 'what skill goes where' and this one makes much MORE sense as a specialisation than a seperate skill and so immediately made the resource of no value for at least half of the potential audience.

Sticking to a summary of RAW makes this document equally useful to all levels of rules meddlers.
