Help! Skills Outside of the Core Books

[Phantasm]

IME, most of the wholly new skills are fairly niche: Imbuement skills in Power-Ups 1: Imbuements, Power skills in Psionic Powers, etc. New and revised specialties pop up all over the place, but are often (but not always) setting- or genre-specific*; plus, they can end up buried in side-boxes, such as Guns (Wrist Gun) getting buried in a side-box in High-Tech.

GURPS being a toolkit, it's entirely possible to alter the skills (see Power-Ups 10: Skill Trees for a total rework) for your campaign. I've done so several times, mostly in my space opera games (a lot of the changes I made in my custom space opera setting's skill list were tested nearly a decade and a half ago in a Star Wars game, when all I had was the Basic Set and Ultra-Tech).



* I'm actually surprised Driving (Hovercycle), distinct from Driving (Hovercraft), hasn't shown up in an official book or Pyramid article yet, tbh.

There's an index to the Skill of the Week series of postings here.

Three sources which at least aspire to being complete lists below. I can't vouch for the completeness or correctness of any of them. (Not solely because I'm lazy, but also because I don't have all the published GURPS books, much less all the Pyramids.)

If you beautiful people could just let me know what's where it would be a lifesaver. (I'm think I'm finally caught up with buying the last of the 4th ed stuff, so it's a daunting task to go though.)

Truthfully it's the Pyramid's that's scaring me.

I'll try and make a list in the second post for quick reference, since this might be something useful in general.

If you download GCS Gurps Character Sheet), the libraries have a decent amount of listings for skills, that usually give a book and page reference to learn more

What Dagothdoom said. GCS has a large compilation of skills, advantages, equipment, notes, rule links, etc.
