Skills from Heroic Cthulhu days for a starting char

[Fantômas]

Looking at the write in skills on an HC char I played, was curious if particular skills could be had on a starting char in the new game.

The skills being


The various magic related skills (I think Magic works different, so may not be applicable from that perspective) - Control, Binding, Warding, Channelling, Magic Sight/3rd Eye, Analyse Magic, Use Stone, Control Raw Magic, Control Pylon, Divination Magic, Gate Lore, Voodoo

Animal Handling(Intern)
Xeno Biology
Mozie
Fame:... eg Fame:Photography (due to the nature of how the game starts for chars, assume this would be a useless skill)
Dance Dance Revolution

I personally think it is cool when people work to rebuild (partially, at any rate) their characters from a previous campaign. For example, Matt is playing Alex Kinley (bitches! as he says). The only disadvantage is that all of the starting skills are capped at 60% so obviously in many cases it's a big decrease in their skills.

As to magic skills - of the ones there, I'm thinking the only one might be 'analyse magic' though to be honest for those sorts of skills (Chris has a different one) they aren't really able to get used until you learn several spells to have some sort of basis. Since all skills start at LEARN (stat), I wouldn't bother buying it. When you want to use it (potentialy much later) you could probably just build it later.

As to the other skills you've listed, I'd not bother with them. I really don't use them much. Dance Dance Revolution is a fun one but 'dance' alone would probably be a lot more useful.

Short answer: I would not bother with the skills you have listed. Other stuff will be much more useful and with this new system building up lots of weird skills is not difficult at all.

I found the original Glenn's character sheet.

Dogfighting (flying)
Tennis
Channeling
Weather Forecasting
Pilot Canal Boat
Monopoly
Japanese Tea Ceremony
Trebuchet
Demonstrate Electrolux Vacuum
Kinley Bros Board Game
Make Earplugs out of Candle Wax
Mushroom Raft Crafting

My question is: I was considering both Dogfighting and Aerial Acrobatics for the new game. I think there's a lot of overlap there, though. Would they be mostly interchangeable?

Yes.
