Weird thing I just noticed about the knowledge skills

Well-known member
I'm not posting this in bug reports because its not really a bug more of a design feature. However all knowledge skills are classed as "knowledge skill" not "Knowledge X skill" which means when you purchase a knowledge skill it locks down all previous ones. So if I purchase knowledge skill History 1 then Knowledge skill magical threats 1, 2, 3, 4 I have to delete all the magical threats skills before I can delete the knowledge history one and then rebuy them.
 
Where is the purchase that you're referring to happening? Are you referring to the advances tab?

Could you please clarify what this issue is preventing you from doing that you'd expect it to allow?
 
Sorry yes that wasn't clear I posted it just before going to bed.

When you've locked the advances tab and are adding new bonuses is where I was referring to. Its not a major issue since you're unlikely to be adding multiples there unless you're starting a higher level character with bonus karma or decide at a later date you want to change the name to better reflect what you thought it was e.g. academic knowledge business to academic knowledge economics. The exact issue is that since all knowledge skills are effectively classed the same if you add one it locks out all the previous ones. To give a concrete example.

I select add new advancement and pick increase attribute then select body from the drop down menu followed by another pick attribute then strength they're both classed as seperate components so I can delete the body advance without touching the strength one.

On the other hand if I select increase knowledge skill or gain a new knowledge skill it locks out all the previous ones. For example if I increased knowledge electronics to 2 then picked gain knowledge skill Matrix Design 1. I'd have to delete the matrix design choice before I could delete the increased knowledge electronics.

As I said not a major issue its just strange that all the knowledge skills are seperate when chossing to increase or gain one but if you want to delete them they're all one group and you have to delete every advance you've made back to the one you want to delete even if you've got them down as different skills.
