Re: Why is Propaganda a skill?
Public Speaking can substitute for Propaganda, but only while speaking to the public. Propaganda involves so much more than just giving a speech. To be fair, Propaganda is probably as cinematic a skill as Computer Hacking, in GURPS terms. Much of what is done through Propaganda is done through the use of other skills, like Research, Psychology, Sociology, etc. Lumping it under one skill just makes it easier for the game and the players.
