The document compares skills between the original Second Edition rulebook and a revised proposal, presenting two mapping tables: existing skills to revised categories, and revised categories back to the original groupings. It also introduces variation through Type and Special options to clarify scope and expertise.","CONSPIRACY X SECOND EDITION–REVISED SKILLS  \nWhile reading Conspiracy X Second Edition, I’m often struck by the sheer number of skills that are available to the characters and NPCS. While such a list this brings a diversity and difference to each agent and their abilities, such a broad offering – at timesfeels too unwieldly and complex, especially when trying to define when what specific skill should be used on a task roll, or where a character with one ability could be also use that for another undertaking or task. On top of that, many skills also allow for further variation/specialistation with the addition of the Type (areas of specific knowledge) and Special (skills requiring more dedication and expertise than normal) options.  \nInspired by my most recent tinkering with scenario ideas, I thought I’d present what I think is a consolidated approach to skills, bringing some together under a single heading, and others reworded to better (in my opinion) reflect their nature and scope. I’ve provided this summary in two ways, the first Old to Revised (listing all the skills as noted in the Second Edition rule book, matched against my revised suggestions) and Revised to Old (grouping together all the old skills under the revised suggestions) .  \nTABLE 1: EXISTING TO REVISED  \n\n| CURRENT | REVISED |\n| --- | --- |\n| ACROBATICS | ACROBATICS (SPECIAL) |\n| ACTING | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n| BEAUTICIAN | DISGUISE |\n| BRAWLING | BRAWLING |\n| BUREAUCRACY | BUREAUCRACY |\n| CHEATING | GAMBLING |\n| CLIMBING | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| COMPUTER HACKING | COMPUTERS |\n| COMPUTER PROGRAMMING | ENGINEER (TYPE) |\n| COMPUTERS | COMPUTERS |\n| CRAFT | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n| DANCING | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n| DEMOLITIONS | DEMOLITIONS |\n| DISGUISE | DISGUISE |\n| DODGE | COMBAT AWARENESS |\n| DRIVING | DRIVING (TYPE) |\n| ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE | ELECTRONICS |\n| ELECTRONICS | ENGINEER (TYPE) |\n| ENGINEER | ENGINEER (TYPE) |\n| ESCAPE | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| FINE ARTS | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n| FIRST AID | FIRST AID |\n| GAMBLING | GAMBLING |\n| GUNS | GUNS (TYPE) |\n\n\n| CURRENT | REVISED |\n| --- | --- |\n| HAGGLING | PERSAUSION |\n| HUMANITIES | HUMANITIES (TYPE) |\n| HYPNOSIS | THERAPHY (TYPE) |\n| INSTRUCTION | INSTRUCTION |\n| INTIMIDATION | INTIMIDATION |\n| LANGUAGE | CULTURE (TYPE) |\n| LOCKPICKING | SLEIGHT OF HAND |\n| MARTIAL ARTS | MARTIAL ARTS (SPECIAL) |\n| MECHANIC | MECHANIC |\n| MEDICINE | MEDICINE (SPECIAL) |\n| MYTH AND LEGEND | HUMANITIES (TYPE) |\n| NOTICE | NOTICE |\n| OCCULT KNOWLEDGE | OCCULT (SPECIAL) |\n| PICKPOCKET | SLEIGHT OF HAND |\n| PILOTING | PILOTING (TYPE) |\n| PLAY INSTRUMENT | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n| QUESTIONING | PERSAUSION |\n| RESEARCH/INVESTIGATION | INVESTIGATION |\n| RIDING | ANIMAL HANDLING (TYPE) |\n| RITUALS | CULTURE (TYPE) |\n| RUNNING | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| SCIENCES | SCIENCES (TYPE) |\n| SEDUCTION | PERSAUSION |\n| SINGING | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n\n\n| CURRENT | REVISED |\n| --- | --- |\n| SLEIGHT OF HAND | SLEIGHT OF HAND |\n| SMOOTH TALKING | PERSAUSION |\n| SPORT | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| STEALTH | STEALTH |\n| STORYTELLING | PERSAUSION |\n| STREETWISE | STREETWISE |\n| SURVEILLANCE | STREETWISE |\n| SURVIVAL | SURVIVAL (TYPE) |\n| SWIMMING | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| SYSTEMS OPERATIONS | SYSTEMS (TYPE) |\n| THROWING | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| TRACKING | SURVIVAL (TYPE) |\n| TRANCE | TRANCE (SPECIAL) |\n| TRAPS | SURVIVAL (TYPE) |\n| UNCONVENTIONAL MEDICINE | THERAPHY (TYPE) |\n| VETERINARY MEDICINE | MEDICINE (SPECIAL) |\n| WEIGHTLIFTING | ALTHLETICS (TYPE) |\n| WRITING | ART/CRAFT (TYPE) |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n|  |  |\n\nTABLE 2: REVISED TO OLD (COLLECTED)  \n\n| REVISED | OLD SKILLS |\n| --- | --- |\n| ACROBATICS (SPECIAL) | ACROBATICS (SPECIAL) |\n| ALTHLETICS (TYPE) | CLIMBING, ESCAPE, RUNNING (TYPE), SPORT (TYPE), SWIMMING, THROWING (TYPE), WEIGHTLIFTING |\n| ANIMAL HANDLING (TYPE) | RIDING (TYPE) |\n| ART/CRAFT (TYPE) | ACTING, CRAFT (TYPE), DANCING (TYPE), FINE ARTS, SINGING, WRITING (TYPE) |\n| BRAWLING | BRAWLING |\n| BUREAUCRACY | BUREAUCRACY |\n| COMBAT AWAREN","cbCair03zfqBxamT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair03zfqBxamT","pdf",66859,1,3,"English","en",105,"# Skills consolidation\n## Existing to revised (mapping)\n## Revised to old (collected)\n## Type and Special options","[{\"question\":\"Why revise the skills in Conspiracy X Second Edition?\",\"answer\":\"The document highlights that the large number of skills can feel unwieldy and complex when deciding which skill fits a task roll, and how overlapping abilities should be applied.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the two comparison tables in the revision?\",\"answer\":\"Table 1 maps existing skills to revised options, while Table 2 groups the revised categories back to the original old skill names.\"},{\"question\":\"How do Type and Special options affect skills?\",\"answer\":\"Many revised skills allow further variation using Type (specific knowledge areas) and Special (skills requiring greater dedication and expertise than normal).\"}]","Conspiracy X Second Edition -
