This is largely a cosmetic change to rename and rebrand Skills from the nWoD core rules, but there are a few merges/deletions/additions too. In addition, an important basic rule change:
 
 
::There are no unskilled penalties for any Skill
 
 
The reason for this is fairly simple; to remove the perverse incentive to get 1-dot in any Skill you might think you need, because of the penalty for unskilled use. This is particularly punitive in the case of Mental Skills, which by default carry a -3 penalty if unskilled.
 
Onto the Skills.
 
 
==Mental==
 
These are largely unchanged, barring renaming and some new Specialities. Four of them, Engineering, Interface, Medicine and Science are of particular importance to those with Tech Powers.

==Physical==
 
There's been a bit of rebranding and shuffling in this section, the primary change is to merge all close combat, whether armed or unarmed, into a single Assault Skill.
 
 
'''Assault''' (Brawling and Weaponry)
 
''Specialities'':

'''Survival''' (includes Animal Ken)
 
''Specialities'':
