I was actually about to make a thread regarding knowledge skills. What do you guys think about reducing the cost for knowledge skills during character creation to 1 bp? 400 bp already feels a bit tight and I have a hard time allocating many points to knowledge skills but I think they are a really cool aspect of the game.
I've never seen anyone spend BPs for extra knowledge skills, since you already get (Logic + Intuition) x 3 skill points for free (SR4A, 85). On the other hand, I've generally played characters with higher mental stats, and they end up with long lists of knowledge skills and languages just because I have extra knowledge skill points left.
However, I would tend to agree with the idea of reducing cost to 1 BP per knowledge skill point, because the knowledge skills tend to be very situational. But that's kinda the point, I suppose. I'm not so sure about reducing the cost for learning languages, though, since they're already pretty easy to learn, especially for the language adepts out there.
