Hello everyone,
I find myself making another revised list of BRP skills for a possible Kingdoms of Kalamar game. I took what I made up for my Skyrealms of Jorune campaign and tried to make it more fantasy-based. I need to work on another character sheet for the Allegiance to all of the gods in the setting, but it is looking pretty good so far. Some of the skills I have included don't have BRP rules for them just yet, but this will probably end up being a solo campaign so I can flesh it out over time. Honestly, when I run BRP I try to make it as skills-based as possible. I might not ever need a Meditation skill... but it's there just in case. As an old Rolemaster player I guess I tend to like a big ole list of skills. :)
I took an idea from Dungeon World which says that you get XP from failure as well as success, so if any skill is used it is eligible for a percentage increase at the end of the session. This increase is only +1% however which is a slower progression than standard BRP. I thought it was a good trade off. There is some influence from D&D and standard fantasy tropes for some of the skills, and I took some ideas from High Adventure Roleplaying too. Here is what I have so far.
I also like the idea of Category Bonuses as a quick way to boost a chunk of skills, so that is included as well. Enjoy.
