This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I have been reading my MASTERMINDS MANUAL PDF just so you guys know.

Reading the part about Broad Skills. This could work great.

QuoteBroad Skills
Skills in M&M are fairly specific, while characters in a comic book are often good at a broad range of things, particularly in their areas of Speciality. It may be useful Shorthand in some compaigns to Allow characters to have broader skills that incorpate several different skills into one.

The broad skill list cuts the number of skills by more Half, down to an even Dozen, Two per ability score. Characters get 1 rank in a broad skill per power point rather than 4 ranks in skills as usual.

Athletics
Awareness
Interaction
Knowledge
Languages
Science
Performance
Profession
Technology
Thievery
Vehicles
Wilderness

I like this. Each Skill above also lists the old skills that fall under it. But I left those out.

I'm going to try this out in my upcoming game.
