Unisystem Skill Lists

So I just re-compiled a lot of character creation rules from various AFMBE books, ARM/WC books, and Con X 2nd edition core book. I tried cutting out anything setting specific to ARM/WC and Con X.

There are 70+ Skills, plus all the Skill Types. Crazy to think there are only 18 in Army of Darkness. I prefer to run campaigns using a smaller list like in AoD. However, watching players squirm during convention one-shots, because they don't have the right Skills is fun, too.

Which do you prefer? 

  • A big list of skills like what I've compiled
  • Some medium level (30-40?)
  • Fewer than 20?

I have 50-some Qualities and Drawbacks just from the core books. I haven't pulled in the various AFMBE supplements.

The Metaphysics are sitting in two different files. I haven't started on those, yet. I need to re-read them to make sure I pulled everything in-or at least everything AFMBE related.

But Derek, haven't you done this before? Yes, but I wasn't as organized or forward thinking about it.

Are you actually going to do anything with it, Derek? One hopes this public accountability helps me do that. One hopes.
