Full Version: Knowledge Skills

This is a rather comprehensive list of Knowledge skills I've seen in printed SR3 books, with a small overlay of SR2 stuff I think. There are a few books I didn't have when I did this perticular project, but none that big. A few even are custom ones (IE. Local Squatter Society, ect.)

Oddly enough the most funny of them are indeed from books.

For example: Lingerie, Shoes, and Pilates. I kid you not.

Dude - that is such a great list.

One of my favorite things to check out in new books is to go to NPC listings and see what people came up with for their knowledge skills - definitely one of the funnest parts of chargen.

But you know what is mostly missing from that awesome list? Financial sorts of stuff. Did you happen to have Divided Assets when you made that list? Some of the characters in there have some really cool and esoteric economic-related skills that go far towards explaining why their corps pay them the big nuyen.

And that stuff is great for shadowrunners to have to - equity analysis, depreciation accounting, macroeconomic trends, consumer behavior analysis.

And my favorite - financial instruments. A lot of the source material talks about ways to get paid besides straight cred, but how many runners would really know what to do with a bearer bond, a CD, or a stock certificate?

Anyway, thank you for a fun read (where do you find the time?).

My Archaeolgist Margo Grande had Mechanical Traps knowledge, Iconography (Ancient) Legendary Explorers, as well as Flatvid Movies (Adventure).

Antacids Knowledge, that's for the GM when the PCs hose his entire scenario isn't it?

>>Nope, I've only really got the core books and maybe a few of the source books/location stuff. Never heard of Divided Assets actually.
