So Is there a hypnosis skill?

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Just assume that any Psychologist that your party "runs into" or "rescues" has the skill.....BUT.......since Dead Reign is set to be a MUCH MORE 'realistic' world than is the rest of the Palladium Megaverse, you probably shouldn't be able to do all the stuff that they do in movies and fiction with it; in real life, Hypnosis isn't really all that effective on most people.

What do you want to use it for?
The Kevinomicon, Book of Siembieda 3:16.

16 Blessed art Thou above all others, O COALITION STATES, beloved of Kevin;

17 For Thou art allowed to do Evil without Limit, nor do thy Enemies retaliate.

18 Thy Military be run by Fools and Dotards.

19 Yet thy Nation suffers not. Praise be unto Him that protects thee from all harm!!

I'd use Hypnotic Suggestion, "a psionically boosted form of simple hypnosis." The text emphasizes that it's limited to putting someone in a light trance, helping them relax and focus on a particular thought when struggling to remember something -- and implanting subtle ideas expressed with clear and simple comments.
