Hi list!

Both first and second editions says that the Etiquette skill is different,
and that you HAVE to specialize in it, and that each specialization is
counted as a different skill. Now the 3rd edition doesn't state that
anywhere. Or did i just miss that statement? How do you do, do you still
use the 2nd and first edition version of Etiquette?

You read it right, Etiquette is now a general skill. I don't consider
it a gamebreaker, so I use it like that.

And thank god. Trying to make room for a half dozen high level
ettiquete skills at character creation was painful. I still tend to
concentrate out of habit, it feels more natural to me for a character
to have more familiarity with one aspect of it.

In SR3, the required specialization was dropped -- you can have just basic
Etiquette skill if you want.
