"Cross Trained" Professional Ability - what skills does it modify?
The Operations Manual presents the "Cross-Trained" skill under the Ops profession. It says:
"When performing the professional skill of another Starfleet Officer elite profession, the operations officer may add his Intellect modifier (for Intellect-based skills this equates to doubling the modifier"
I take this to mean that any skill that appears on any Starship Officer EP would get the bonus except for the 4 on the Ops list (First Aid/Physical Science, Observe, SysEng, SysOps). However, all those skills are on other EP lists. The way it is written I would assume that those skills are still exempt - what do you all think?
Also, this seems like it might be a little over-powered? It isn't uncommon for a character to have +2 or +3 Intellect modifier, and that would apply to a ton of different skills. Thoughts?
thanks
