Chapter 5

I'd say that while shock itself is a Mainstream Skill, the Shock rN->rF quest is closer to the old Paladin Passive Defense quest, in that it's triggered only after the main Generation is over, and is tied more closely to the skill itself than the Generation, ergo, it would be grouped under Skill Quests more than Generation Sidequests.

Luckily, we don't need to worry about it, because the Shock rF quest fits nicely on the Shock page.

I think the Main difference between the Shock rF and old Paladin Passive Defense quest versus the Puppeteer and Fighter and Shamala quests is that the Shock and PPD quests were focused around getting the skills, while Puppeteer and Fighter and Shamala were focused around a backstory and the skills were mere rewards for completion of quests. In effect, the Sidequest chains themselves would change none even if all of the skill rewards were removed.
