Notes

Business and Trading are essentially the same skill in each genre book with marginally different flavor text. D6 Fantasy mentions exchange rates, bartering, and sales in addition to the common “business practices”, “monetary value”, and “how to make money”.

Each description refers to a different set of other skills it can complement. In D6 Space, Business only complements Bargain. In D6 Adventure, D6 Fantasy, Business complements Bluff/Con, Charm, and Persuasion.

Business is one of the skills who’s description included “Knowledge of”, “Comprehension of”, “Understanding of”, et cetera.
