The next set of statistics requiring conversion is the Skills. Skills are converted in much the same way as Attributes, save that the equivalence of Skill names is much more flexible. Most ICON Skills have subsidiary Specialisations - some FASA Skills convert to a specific Specialisation of a Skill, while others convert to an overall Skill and you must assign a Specialisation.
