I recently wrote up a list of skills covering five or six
categories.  It was adopted wholesale by the admin of the mud I
wrote it for, replacing the previous list.  I'm sure there are
omissions, but they'd be hard to find in around 140 listed skills.
This is an RP-oriented place, so there isn't as much levelling or
"mechanical" effect associated with them.  If you'd like a copy of
the file, send me a message off the list.

Morrowind's skillset would probably apply most directly to a
graphical mud.  I'm not sure that Mr. Britt is designing one of
those.
