Combat Skills

As a modern combat game, Millennium's End uses split combat skills.

• Brawl
• Melee
• Ranged (light)
• Ranged (heavy)
• Gunnery

Knowledge

The knowledge skill is replaced with 3 different knowledge skills - General Knowledge, Academics (Major), and Specialist (Focus). See below for examples and how they function in the game. Because of the relative infrequency of any particular Academics (Major) or Specialist (Focus) coming up in game, these skills are always considered "career" skills for purposes of XP cost.

General Knowledge:

• Covers recall of basic academic knowledge, through what is normally covered in (non-AP) High School.
• Covers recall of knowledge not normally acquired by study. (Pop Knowledge)
• No Ranks represents the level a normal adult remembers from high school.
• Characters who never finished high school may still roll against this skill, as they may have still run across the pertinent information somewhere.

Academics (Major):

• Replace (Major) with a department of study, such as Biology, Communications or Law
• Covers recall of academic knowledge in the field, through what is normally covered by a four-year degree
• No Ranks represents either not having attended college or having forgotten most of the specifics from lack of use or review.
• Characters who never attended college may still roll against this skill, as they may have still run across the pertinent information somewhere.

Specialist (Focus):

• Replace (Focus) with a narrow field of studies, such as Forensics, MBA or Criminal Law
• Covers recall of academic knowledge in the field, typically as acquired via Masters, Ph.D. or technical school.
• No Ranks represents either not having attended such a program or having forgotten most of the specifics from lack of use or review.
• Characters who never attended such a program may still roll against this skill, as they may have still run across the pertinent information somewhere.
