DF skill cheat sheet

Alright, I was inspired by Mark Langsdorf's After the End skills cheat sheet, so I was inspired to make one of my own for Dungeon Fantasy. This, needless to say, took awhile. Most of the work was from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 2: Dungeons and GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 16: Wilderness Adventures. I purposely ignored GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 14: Psis, since those are new psi skills added to the system, not existing skills used in new ways. There are spells in there too; this is Dungeon Fantasy, after all. I left many advantages in there, if I thought some reference was needed.

If/when Sean Punch writes GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 23: Urban Adventures, this will need a big update, since these are keyed to situations, and situations are keyed to adventuring activity.
