I have a question involving the use of Rifts OCCs and the mutant power of Extraordinary Intelligence as found in PU3.
The power states that you have one additional skill program to whatever skills you already possess. But Rifts does not have a skill program set up. Is there a set number of skills he selects or does he double the OCC related? This thing has been wracking my brain for the past week with no end in sight.

Re: Extraordinary Intelligence
Or just give them the equivalent number of skills that would be gained from that additional skill program. The skill programs are already outlined in numerous books, you might as well use them as a guideline.

Re: Extraordinary Intelligence
Skill Programs are like MOS skill sets.
The easiest way to handle this is to have the player pick a skill program from the HU2 Main Book. Listing the skills as "Power Skills" so you know where they came from.
N&S, HU1, HU2, BTS1, AU:GG* are the books (that I can think of off the top of my head) that have skill programs in them
If you do not have the HU2 (or the others listed above) then 'GM fix' would be just pick five (5) skills out of the same skills cat.
*The skill programs in AU:GG are more like Class Skill sets then other skill programs. So you would need GM okay to use them.

May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Re: Extraordinary Intelligence
He's a mutant. I rolled powers randomly. He also has impervious to magic (which was rolled as a minor then bumped up to major) and clock manipulation.
But as a city rat, he does. It receive any skill programs and that's why I asked here.

There are a few exceptions in HU, but a skill program normally contains four skills, so I would go with four extra O.C.C. Related skills.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
