NEW AND REVISED SKILLS FOR
THE GCM RPG CONVERSION
These are a selection of new skills, replacements and Mospeada renamings for existing skills. Most people will twig onto the fact that Mecha Combat: Legioss Armo-Fighter supercedes Mecha Combat: Alpha Fighter ^_^
Use common sense when allowing players to select skills. How would a character rasied in a low tech village learn Satellite Repair, or even more importantly want or need to know it? Likewise how would a Mars Base character learn to swim, when water is completely rationed?
Piloting Skills
Pilot Condor Armo-Soldier
This skill gives character the knowledge and training the prototype Condor Armo-Soldier with or without it's specialised booster pack attached.
Pilot Legioss Armo-Fighter

NOTE: Characters who are restricted to the Basic level of combat training can trade One of their Other Skills (either one of their original alotment or one gained with the achivement of a level) to atain the standard level of combat training, with each skill at the basic level training needing one other skill each. I suggest to GMs that they restrict the payment of the one other skill to atleast the second time the characters get their extra other skills as this better represents the time and experience needed for the PC to improve from the basic level.
