This is the fifth in my series of articles detailing a completely modular skill system that is not too complicated for new players. In part one, I introduced the concept of the system, and also explained how the Background system currently in the Playtest Packet would fit in seamlessly with my expended module. In the second, I explained the two options that are easier to apply but allow for less customization than Backgrounds. In the third, I introduced my version of Skills, which allow you, essentially, to make your own Custom Background. The articles in this series are:

Secondary: Intro and Backgrounds
Secondary: Abilities and Subabilities
Secondary: Skills
Secondary: Proficiencies
Secondary: Skill Points

The last component of this modular system is the wildest option of all.  Right now,...

In my recent article, What's Next for Skills, I proposed a modular system that could allow for a variety of optional mechanics for skills that fit off a single core (that is completely compatible with the way Backgrounds work currently).  Some people, however, commented, that they thought all those options may be overwhelming.  To me, that is a problem of presentation, not mechanics.  So I have revised the Options System.  Given this is a proposed alternate series of mechanics, I am calling this series, "Secondary", after the 1e mechanic, Secondary Skills.  The articles in this series are:

Secondary: Intro and Backgrounds
Secondary: Abilities and Subabilities
Secondary: Skills
Secondary: Proficiencies
Secondary: Skill Points

I propose that the Skill Section be introduced...
