SKILL EQUIVALENCES.

SKILL EQUIVALENCES




If your character came into the game with previous skills from canon or another game, they may have equivalents among the in-game skills. If you'd like to use those skills as if they had the same mechanisms as game-granted skills, you may list the game skills applicable, along with a brief explanation of why or how your character has that particular skill - for example, characters with police or private investigator training could claim the Crime Scene Investigation skill, based on their previous training. If the skill was acquired in a previous game rather than canon, we may ask for a thread proof of the character gaining that skill.

Skill equivalences can be taught to other Travelers, and only apply to Jaunt skills - Liminal and Psychic equivalences are assigned at app time, as we cap those powers in-game. It is only necessary to claim a skill equivalence if your character has an interest in using or teaching it according to in-game mechanics, or if it satisfies a prerequisite for another skill. For more on skill equivalences, see here.



The skills Travelers have already learned are listed here for now; we're working on a better layout for them.

Cultures and Humanities, Disguise, Edged Weapons, Prevarication, Etiquette, High-Society Etiquette, Research, Riding, Sleight of Hand, Three-Dimensional Stealth, and Wilderness Survival added. I didn't give you cold reading, because you seem to talk about studying his marks, and these are split-second judgement (plus, no other assassin's creed characters have taken this skill). I didn't give you swordfighting because that was a specific style in Dolorosa. (Also because... literally nobody has it? Even though lots of people know swordfighting in some style or another.)

Hmm weird! Well I'll keep an eye out if his style of swordfighting comes up in a Jaunt... probably never... lol

Skill equivalencies (unless it's a liminal/ telepathic skill it's equivalent to) generally really only matter if you plan on teaching the skill to someone else. And even then, it can be done without that.
