Secondary Skills?

Unread post by thorr-kan »

The Shadow Chronicles HC OCCs all get Secondary Skills. But the Skills section doesn't say WHAT those Skills are. That's usually called out specifically in Palladium games. Am I missing something?

Page 149 of the hard cover deluxe edition. Step 5 Picking an OCC & Skills. Not sure where it is in the manga edition.

Secondary skills are now chosen from a select list of skills and not listed in the OCCs aside from how many you get.

I am very opinionated. Yes I rub people the wrong way but at the end of the day I just enjoy good hard discussion and will gladly walk away agreeing to not agree :D

older palladium games limited the secondaries ot the same catagories as the OCC related, which didn't make a lot of sense given secondary skills are fluffed as hobbies and other such non-occupation focused skills.

HU2, RUE, RT:tSCRPG, and all the newer games use a dedicated secondary skills selection list instead.

So...double the page count for the manga edition, then subtract a quarter for our estimated page value of: 223.5. Hm. Have to check to book store tonight.

Ayup. I'm surprised how close my calculation was.

Depends on your game. BTS1 had a specific list of Secondary Skills too.
