Revision as of 09:49, 7 May 2015
This article needs to be updated with material from A Time of War. Once these titles clear the Moratorium period, or if they already have, please consider revisiting this article and updating it with the new material. |
The Skills List is compiled for use with Classic BattleTech RPG (also known as MechWarrior, Third Edition). In cases where multiple sources are listed for the same skill, either additional subskills were added after the primary source's introduction of the skill or the secondary source has provided additional rules expansion for that skill. Refer to the sources for detailed descriptions and rules for use. The list is currently updated only as far as the references indicate.
