Build/Repair Skills (S = Specific) : 

     Unless otherwise noted B/R Skills are Technical Skills. Most are only one step away from any related skill. Thus, B/R Firearms is only one step (-2 TN) away from Firearms. 

     Many Crafts are B/R functions (i.e.: B/R Pottery is Pottery, B/R Jewelry is Jewelry Making, etc.). Note that a knowledge of a more general technical skill is limited in a B/R application to just show that specific skills applies to that area. Thus, B/R Computers has little relevance to B/R Security Systems other than they both have a lot of electronics.
