Any skill you think would be useful/cool, mention it here. If you can tag it with a type (smart, tough, charming). Also, lets try to match up new skills of each type with each other.

I also agree on a agency skill, but it could be something each agency member automatically has when we join that agency, and it could be like:
"RESPECT - charm"
Adds +4 towards each member's charm attributes

and also something similar for Tough and Smart attributes. But each agency can only have one or two of these agency skills and could cost $50000+ and have to be above a certain number of fame points etc.

But this would mean the agencies would be classfied as a "tough" agency, or "charm" agency which would be strange...

o well, it's just a suggestion..!! hehe

cfm, yeah! An advanced course in record-keeping, or a sidekick who comes around on the case with you - like a Watson with a notebook! That would be a smarts skill for sure.

And wouldn't it be great if it helped keep track of who you already asked about what? (Or this could be a separate skill). I would so love it if people would disappear off the options to ask someone about when I have already asked about them. I know it adds to the challenge for us to remember or take notes or whatever, but when I get a phone call I have to take in the middle of a case, sometimes I get back to the case and find I am at sea, not knowing which people I asked about.

I think they are all wonderful ideas.
The problem is, there are a lot of skils that can be purchased already. After obtaining all skills, then Impossibly cases have a certain difficulty factor. But with more skills, the difficulty factor would lower. Unless of course we would get a very impossible case. Or something. But I think with impossibly we pretty much have reached the end of the line almost.

Unless there is a situation, where certain skills are a "choice", where you take one or the other skill. But then to prevent to be stuck with a skill you can never get rid off, you need to be able to delete your bad skill pick. But just for the "choice" skills, not ALL skills. Suffering through bad skill picks are kind of part of the game.

More importantly the favours are almost a guaranteed win for someone with all skills that are currently there. With more skills, it really will be random clicking. I think most of us will not be in favour of having the favours higher then incred hard.

Maybe the favor level will get higher only if you buy the new skill? So ppl without it will have inc hard favors as top option but if they buy new skills their favor level will jump up.

Actually I was a little surprised to see favors top out at Incredibly Hard. I has assumed that as I went up they would continue to get harder, all the way up to the Almost Impossibles.

It would change the mechanics of Hunts dramaticaly I think.

Right now we work hard to move up, and when we are high enough level we suddenly stop doing harder cases during hunts. We fly though Easies, take a little longer on the Incredibles for each favor, then plow through more Easies.

Getting off track here, will move this to a new thread.

I want an assistant! It could be like 20 skill points and you have to be in good with 2 specific factions! I'll be there!

I'm trying to train Buttercup the Bloodhound to do it (with Rem in NY-someone has to feed her) and she keeps messing up the Asain names.

I like the assistant idea and for favors, Incredibly Hard level is just fine for me. I think favors that would be at the level Almost Impossible, well, would be ABOUT impossible to do, unless you had 3 pieces of evidence that was for the contact you have (like me, 3 fps would be great lol) and doing favs, you cant use others contacts for help so, even tho it may be more challenging, it would be almost too difficult,and wouldnt get anywhere on hunts. Right now, it is challenging enough at Incredibly Hard with having no help from others, etc. So I hope that stays just how it is!
