Re: Cost of HT.
No it wasn't Vicky posted that an idea exist that I agree with.
I quote the response that said that idea does not exist and noone has posted it. I posed to assume because people are choosing not post because because it would derail you house rules thread that they agree with your positions. you not liking that does make it nonsence. |

R.A.W. does that already, but not very clearly, and not for even most skills.

And many of the sciences and other such skills that have their own segments in the skill chapter don't need them, just as we don't need separate entries for every possible interpretation of Professional Skill and Hobby Skill. And of course there are always some skills so similar to each other that they might be better served with a merge on the game mechanical level anyway; Falconry and Animal Handling(Falcons), Shortsword and Broadsword, Tonfa and Shortsword, or Riding(Horse) and Animal Handling(Equines) as a few examples.

I imagine a more apt comparison might be to all the influence skills of Intimidation, Diplomacy, Fast Talk, etc.

Re: Cost of HT.
Rules-wise, not really. They're all pretty much 'Roll to know things, do research, or understand research in <field>.

Do you really want to simplify things down to Skill: Know stuff, Skill: Do stuff, and Skill: hit stuff?

Re: Cost of HT.
Unless the skill actually needs separate rules text, sure.

Re: Cost of HT.
I prefer to use a single, generic Omni-Roll. One skill for everything!
