One thing I had always wanted to do was create Skill Sets that would give a group of skills at something of a discount - sort of to reflect the fact that organized, methodical training and teaching is effective. Having stumbled upon Origins in TSS #8, I decided to modify it to fit with my campaign's character creation (we use BeCKs v.2). Here it is for you all to give feedback and critique!
