I think I have enough Skills done. I'd quite like comments, and better "quotes" for the Skills (as mine aren't anything to be proud of)

Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: Uh
A small "tink" as the rock and the bracer made contact.
A small shock as the sword rebounded off the energy shield and Barbant fell to the floor, Varis on top.
A "smash" as the bottle exploded on the floor and the two figures slowly began to disappear from sight.
Then a ground-rumbling - "SHORP"? - as the Catalium nugget exploded in Varis' hand and a shockwave erupted. The invisibility effect vanished from the two floored fighters, the bracer popped off the assassin's forearm with a "clank".
The Blade of Ranef's red energy blade faded away, as did the arcane remnants of Karrain's weaved mana. Most of the bottles and tools quickly disintegrated around Barbant's belt, and the two healing potions at Varis' also fell to the effect of the chunk.
As the proverbial dust settled, Barbant groaned.

Still wanting any comments, particularly negative ones, and ideas.
I think that the weapon proficiency equivalence system is easily exploitable by someone who understands it, but hey ^^
EDIT: It IS easily exploitable. Why bother getting the 5 Skills in one when you can cheat and get 5 in both WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF SKILL POINTS? 
Nerfed it. Now it takes 7 Skill points to max two similar weapon types, for the discerning munchkin.

Using this thread to stock base character sheets for Brains and Brains chat-based zombie RP.
These would NOT be updated real-time, but by hand in text document or on paper. These are pre-"adventure" sheets.

Topic: Footprints: Part One, Chapter Five
Subject: BOOM
CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRACK
The stonework literally cracked around Barbant as the mana splits the solid rock, throwing up some dust, and causing the transparent energy shield to waver, yet hold. A groaning from the depths of the rock could be heard by a discerning ear as the small impact on the surface dealt huge damage to the lower levels of stone.
The force of the explosion helped the assassin leap to his feet with ease. Faster than humanely possible, his hand slipped to his belt and tossed a small... spike? at Dharem, who stumbled back against the table. Then, grabbing a bottle from his belt with his right hand, he lifted it up, preparing to smash it on the floor... what little remained of it.

I'll keep the paranormal stuff to one side.
Actually, I'll take it out. I don't even know why I put it in, I'm not fussed myself
Oh, and still wanting as many Skill ideas as possible. The more fun, the better!
(I just want to avoid the sort of Skill that takes away from the creativity. IE, a Skill can give bonuses to Beating On Head With Stick, but shouldn't be a Beat On Head With Stick ability.)

DHarem stared blankly at Varis, not at all understanding his plan, seeing the bard swap sword-hand.
All this time, Barbant was advancing on Karrain, sword raised, ready to strike.
"To hell with this."
An arrow thwacked and rebounded off a magical shield around the assassin. A second followed. But the third, despite being deflected, bypassed the force absorption, and Barbant was flung to the floor beside Varis, dropping the Redblade.

Thanks!
The idea behind it it "fun, but also danger". 
EDIT: I added Perception attribute, Invisibility, Greater Invisibility, Greater Ignorance and Hunter skills.
Oh, and if anyone has better names or quotes for the skills than the ones I already put, go ahead and mention them

Topic: Brains and Brains Zombie RP Ruleset
Subject: Zombie RP Ruleset
At Level 1 you distribute 80 points between the four attributes (discounting Badass) and have three Skills.
From then on, every level gives 5 Attribute points and every level gives one Skill.
(Levels go up quite quickly, 20XP for one levelup. One zombie is worth 1XP, and various actions merit various XPs ^^. Chat games are short enough for it not to matter that the characters finish too strong.)
BASIC RULES
d100 + attribute + modifiers = standard roll unless otherwise mentioned.
If equal to DC, succeeded.
Zombies use d60 for hitting and defending. All humans have d100.
If equal result for player and zombie/human enemy, player automatically wins.
Barricades have HP. When attacked by zombies, lose 1HP per turn per zombie.
Mêlée weapons have a Stuck roll: if fail, they get stuck and it takes a turn to wrench it out.
Shielding objects have Hit Points: amount of hits they survive before breaking. Defender can choose to use shield instead of dodging, and adds the Shield Bonus to their defence roll.
Hunger is dealt with by minimum of one meal per 8h (yes, the rule IS simple as possible)
Proficiencies in weapons carry across, at a lesser rate, to weapons that are similar. R3->R1, R5->R2.
Fear: If scared, -20 to attack, -10 to defence.
Morale: Good, +10 to stuff. Average, 0. Bad, -10. Crap, -20.
Plague: When hit, Hardness check vs 30+damage from zombie
If infected, alternate Will vs 50 to not pass out and Hardness vs 70 to get better. If pass out, change to alternating Hardness vs 70 and Will vs 60.
If succeed Hardness vs 70, cured. If fail Will vs 60, zombeh!
(if have 49 or more Hardness+bonuses, or 59 or more Will+bonuses, immune to Plague.)
Zombies deal 1d20 damage with attacks.
ATTRIBUTES:
They can be between 0 and 50.
Hardness: Hit Points = 20+Hardness. Also used when resisting illnesses, hunger, etc.
Speed: used for hitting and dodging, moving, etc.
Will: used for resisting mental effects.
Perception: used for spotting, detection.
Badass: used for relations vis-à-vis other survivors. Starts at 0, can go up with clothing, actions, etc.
