Re: [Basic] What skills for a long con or ...
There's probably also an Expert Skill (Con Jobs) skill which gives you exhaustive knowledge of all the standard con jobs and their variants.
E.g., the con from The Sting is a "pigeon drop" and there are many versions of it. In Lost, half the cons Sawyer pulls are known tricks you can look up. He just tweaks them and pulls them off with authenticity and style.
Other skills (Psychology, Leadership, Acting, Fast-Talk) would help you understand the best con to pull on someone, how to plan it, and then execute against it.
