[QUOTE="jonrog1, post: 3444005, member: 189"] Sorry, i was using "skill ranks" in a different context, as in "skill value added to roll." Again, not heartbroken about this. It's not like I ever, in twenty odd years of gaming, said "Thanks God for my two odd ranks in swim." And not to just praise Green Ronin without knocking them, i find a lot of the hero builds in Mutants and Masterminds suffer from skill point glut. A lot of abilites at +2 ranks or +3 just because they needed somewhere to stick all those points. For a pulpy, fast-based game, that's a little grit in the gears. it could be stripped out nicely, and this system would be a nice one to use for that. As to what uses are trained only, I'm guessing that if your character is built around using that skill, you're gonna know that pretty darn fast. It's like combat challenges, and some uses in True20 skills. Oddly, i think this version of SW will loan itself even more as the generic basis for other pulp space opera campaigns. [/QUOTE]
