I agree with this to some extent but don't feel it is nessary get as
complex as you have gotten.
Specaial skill covers almost anything not covered under the mail skill
blocks and other things almost always fir into one of the existing
catagories.

IE these would all be considered to be special skills and are covered by
the existing rules.

While the list you created is quite impressive IMO as a GM I way to much
paperwork work anyways and would not want to include something like that
into my game.
