I'd hate to see a definitive list of Knowledge skills--that's one of the places on the character sheet that the player's creativity really gets a chance to express itself.

All right then, I'll amend that to be that there needs to be a more comprehensive listing. Probably no way to make it completely definitive and comprehensive, but having more listed would go a long way toward clarifying the exact scope that a single Knowledge can cover.

My rule of thumb is that the more specific the skill, the lower the Threshold.  So someone might roll Mathematics versus a Threshold of 4 while someone else could roll Statistics versus a Threshold of 3 (or 2, or whatever).
