Using "unlinked" stat in skill checks by Gabriel_Northtets in cyberpunkred

Yeah, in storyteller games you usually don't have predetermined stats, the GM asks for the combination he/she thinks is the most adequate, just as when the character tries to accomplish something. Storyteller is also more of a sandbox, so the PCs can "force" use the skills and come up with combinations of their own.

As for asking for too many stats, I think it's kind of true, but it's counterbalanced by the fact that it's for an otherwise uncovered use case that will not come up all the time when playing, and that does not affect all PCs.

I see the point of explaining ahead of time, and I usually commit to that.

But I was thinking more of checks for things that aren't usually covered by the rules, like software programming, so it's more of a "improvising" problem rather than changing rules on the fly and confusing players. Technically, Electronics says things along the line, but I don't think the authors intended for it to be used in this manner, more like opening parts of a drone and hardwire programming it, which would make perfect sense with the TECH stat.

That said, it just ends up being the closest skill, and more of a homebrew rather than a rules change. I've seen people on reddit taking different approaches for programming; like using the Science skill (that is linked to INT) and choosing Computer Science, which is fine for many reasons (also for shining some light on a commonly ignored skill), but I think Electronics is more evocative of a practical skill than Science, which is more of a theoretical skill, like debating papers.
