New Skills
Whilst gaming this afternoon, one of our players, An extremely funny and cool female,
proceeded to perform professional wrestling maneuvers in her power armor, as well as in her regular armor
at one point she performed a flying elbow drop, in her Terror trooper armor, as she was dropped from a helicopter, and ended up killing a enemy with this single move
while we were joking around, We thrEw out the idea that we should come up with a professional wrestling skill.
that idea leAd me to think about, what other exciting and interesting skills would be fun to use during an adventure, or were extremely beneficial in crucial situations
if you have any ideas please Post them,as it would be really fun to hear everyone's Thoughts

Re: New Skills
The Palladium skill system is already bloated and schizophrenic. You should be removing skills rather than adding more.
For instance, all of the biological sciences are summed up in a single science skill, but if you want to be proficient with both rifles AND shotguns, that's two separate skills, even though in the real world Biology covers more than you could learn in a single lifetime and being able to hit a target with both a hunting rifle and a shotgun takes maybe a couple hours of practice every couple of months.
Go figure.
At least as of RUE, they no longer make pistols and revolvers separate weapon proficiencies. That was completely ridiculous. Energy pistol is still it's own WP, curiously enough.
Now we just need rifles, energy rifles, shotguns, and sub-machineguns merged into the same skill.
--flatline

I don't care about canon answers. I'm interested in good, well-reasoned answers and, perhaps, a short discussion of how that answer is supported or contradicted by canon.
If I don't provide a book and page number, then don't assume that I'm describing canon. I'll tell you if I'm describing canon.

Wrestling Skill + Performance Skill = Professional Wrestling.
If the character has wrestling and performance, I see no reason they couldn't combine them. I mean, that's how the gladiator does it.

Re: New Skills
Because I feel like promoting my personal interests:
I am working on a pro-wrestling optional ruleset for a potential Rifter article (about 30% complete). This post gives me hope that there is sufficient interest.
I mean not all Pro Wrestlers would qualify as having the current Wrestling or Boxing skills, but it is not just a single skill, nor is it an H2H. It is so much more. Also included will be information about some Rifts and Heroes (I hope) Professional Wrestling Promotions.
There, now I have to finish writing it.

Re: New Skills
Rifter 3 has an actual HTH Wrestling and Rifter 7 has a HTH Pro Boxing/Pugilism. I think Rifter 7 has a North America Kick Boxing HTH as well. I could have sworn there was a Pro Wrestling one in there somewhere too.
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
