Starfinder Hype

It's physical science, life science, engineering, culture, and mysticism for knowledge skills. Life science, mysticism, and engineering are the monster knowledges. It's possible to have specialities (like the Scholar theme gives you a choice within life science or physical science), but those are usually presented as conditional bonuses than full out skills.

There are less skills in Starfinder actually, and everyone's at least 4+Int. Operatives are the undisputed masters of the skill check. They get straight up bonuses to ALL skills based on, 8+Int, and an extra 2 full ranks in two of their specialization, so essentially they get 10+Int. They also get skill focus on the two specialist skills they get at level 1. They can also use some of those skills in combat with various talents and class abilities.

BUT, again, everyone is at least 4+Int so no one will be bad at them. Mechanics are good at the mechanic themed skills too (like Computers and Engineering).

Honestly all the classes are cool and it looks like they learned their lesson skill-wise with fighters, clerics, and paladins in Pathfinder.

Another good example of skill combining... Survival now covers Handle Animal, Ride, and of course Survival.

As for planet building... I'm working on getting there. Wink
