Skills named but w/o a listing.

Unread post by drewkitty ~..~ »

I was going through the AUGG book and looking at the Spacecraft pilot skill program. There is a skill in it called Operate Sensory Systems (@ +25%) but I can not find that skill in any of the HU2 books I've looked through. (The very next skill in the program is read sensory equipment @ +25%.)

I was wondering if anyone else has found any skills in skill programs or class skills or wherever that are not detailed out as a skill anywhere?

While NOT from HU2E, the RT2E RPG has a few skills like that:
Pilot: ASC Power Armor (Masters SB, various OCC/MOS packages, Battloids and PA by OCC descriptions seem to be separate skills given there is a separate Pilot: Battloid option in a few cases)
Pilot: Bioroid (Masters SB)
Pilot: Bioroid Gravsled (Masters SB, given that you are operating a mecha to handle a separate vehicle I can see this being a separate skill)
Aerospace Fighter (Macross SB)
MECT: Elite XXX (some of the Mecha/Robot Combat Elite Skill options point to mecha that don't exist/haven't been detailed yet/or bad editing with regard to name changes)

When stuff like this happens one individual in our group will go "It's P-A-L-A-D-I-U-M".

I am pretty sure that was MEANT To be Read Sensory Equipment.

Yes…...But that is not the idea I started this topic about.

responding to SL:
Yep, I noticed there are more then normal in the 2nd ed RT books. Some of the mistakes are corrected in later books thou. example: the seduction skill is listed in the Muse occ skills but the skill is not detailed till the NG book.

Does anybody else have any more?

I know in 2E some skills are mentioned, but get covered in later books in the line. I was avoiding those and looking for the ones that are mentioned but don't get covered. We create a master skill list to avoid having to flip through books and such.

Otherwise in terms of skills mentioned, but not detailed. I can't really think of anything. I thought there was one in the HU2E basic Programs called "Criminal Sciences" but they make a note that it doesn't include Forensics. Not sure if that is what you would consider named but not listed since it implies to use Criminal Sciences & Forensics Medical Skill, but you don't include the forensics aspect.
