Skills

Skills reflect a character's ability to perform both game-critical and specific tasks.  The list below details what each skill generally can be used for.  To successfully use a skill, roll 2d6; if the result is 7 or less then the skill has been successfully employed.  Each level of a skill subtracts one from the roll, making it more likely the character can perform the task successfully.   If a character has no level in a skill but wishes to attempt to perform it, the player must roll 4 or less on 2d6.  All skill rolls assume appropriate tools are employed as applicable.  In some cases below, an ability is parenthetically indicated next to a skill; this ability may give more subtraction to the 2d6 roll as follows:

Note - In many cases an RM (RoadMaster) may rule there are additions to the roll rather than merely your subtractions (e.g., in Bribery, an "incorruptible" official would be +5 or even +10).  Of course he may also give subtractions for excellent roleplaying (maybe as much as -2) or other conditions, though if something is just plain easy to do so long as a character has adequate training, the RM may of course simply waive a roll and consider it done.

Skills are divided into categories below.

ACADEMIC SKILLS

Connections (CHAR) - Chance to know someone in a particular department in a particular locale (e.g., answering the question, "Do I know someone in the Travel Bureau in East Block?)
Fields/Sports - Knowledge in a particular area, sport, or hobby.  Player-character must declare which area (e.g., "Political Science" or "Soccer"), and each level of a skill must be declared per area.  The 2d6 roll would, for example, be used to see if a goal in soccer was made or if a comment in a conversation relevant to sociology was known to be true or not or chance to speak a phrase in another language.
Social Skills (CHAR) - Ability to know social skills in any setting.
Trivia - Ability to know an odd fact here or there, a foreign word or two.
