Rules & Skill Adjustments

Interestingly, you need little more adjustment to the Roll & Keep system that a few skill adustments. Most skills remain the same, but use different technology. For instance, Firearms still uses guns, just far better ones. So here is a list of the adapted and new skills.

Martial Skills

Choose one knack (except trick driving) and gain one point in it. That becomes your basic knack, the rest are considered advanced. Once outside character generation they are all treated the same as usual.

No change except that it is now a civil rather than martial skill.

Scholar
Delete the knack 'Natural Philosophy'.
Instead add the advanced knacks of Chemistry, Biology, Forensic research and Physics, which should all be self-explanatory.

Old Sword Schools

Few people actually learn a swordsman school. There is plenty of scope to develop firearm schools like Rasmussen for the modern world. However, there are a few schools kept alive in the same way fencing is practiced today. If a school isn't noted here it is an archaic style rarly practiced. However, it may be alive somewhere with an old fencing instructor if you look hard enough.
Eisenfaust - Still practiced by the Eisen military as a mark of tradition for officers. although Dracheneisen very rare.
Ambrogia - like most Vodacce schools it has developed into a knife fighting school.
Aldana - Practiced occasionally by the Castillian nobility with nothing better to do.
