How many skills do I want? More than Savage Worlds, less than D20 or Ironclaw. Hm. Lemme look at that old CP2020 list... Or maybe Pendragon.
Pendragon: Awareness, Boating, Chirurgery, Compose, Courtesy, Dancing, Fae Lore, Falconry, First Aid, Flirting, Folk Lore, Gaming, Heraldry, Hunting, Industry, Intrigue, Orate, Play Instrument, Read Language, Recognize, Religion, Romance, Singing, Stewardship, Swimming, Tourney. A bit too oriented around noblemen, but I can probably still use a few of 'em.
Awareness, Boating, Medicine, Dance, Seduction, Lore*, Gambling, Tracking, Craft, Traps, Swimming, Administration, Engineering.
Leadership, Weapon*, Dodge, Acrobatics.
Hm. Do I want them to be based on stats?
Strength: Laboring, Wrestling, Heavy Weapons*
Agility: Light Weapons*, Dodge, Acrobatics, Climbing, Swimming
Perception: Tracking, Missile Weapon*, Shield
Knowledge: Craft*, Lore*, Spellcraft*
Charm: Seduction, Diplomacy, Fast Talk
Drive: Leadership, Resolve
Intuition: Mana Gathering, Danger Sense, Detect Magic, Psychology
So, I've got * for things that might require specializations. I've got Shield as a Perception skill (if you see the attack coming, you can block it) and Heavy Weapons as a Strength-based skill (Heavy Weapons should be worse at parrying, though). Light Weapons use Agility and can parry just fine.
