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.

Character Name: Phillip Santorini
Series: Persona 3
Skill Equivalencies Requested: Theatrical Skills
Reasoning:

Theatrical Skills: Phillip's been involved in acting since he was eight and has done a lot in theater acting and knows a lot about how things work behind the scenes.

Character Name: Melissa Lyre
Series: Original Fanon Character
Skill Equivalencies Requested: Crime Scene Investigation
Reasoning:

Crime Scene Investigation: Melissa is a police officer, and on her character sheet she has the Crime Scene specialization on her Investigation skill. It's a little too perfect.

(I am assume the skills along the lines of 'Fireaems use' and '21st century technology' don't need to go on this list? If they do then I have some updates to make. XD)
