Default Re: What if all skills were average difficulty?

The only characters in the Stargate franchise who seem to have actual wildcard skills are the scientists. Carter probably has Science!, and Jackson might have something similar to the History! skill from Infinite Worlds (replace the artistic skills with Linguistics). But only the principal scientists have wildcard skills; any others just have their specialties as normal skills.

If you just want to modify defaults, don't change the difficulty levels of skills. Just change the defaults arbitrarily. But I think wildcard skills for just the scientists will probably cover what you need for Stargate. You might use wildcard skills for other types of characters, but we don't really see Pilot! or Engineer! or that sort of thing all that much in Stargate. TV science is the rule in Stargate.
