Skills are the talents and skills that a character uses in his day-to-day life. Some skills increase in effectiveness the more a character devotes to it, others simply give a general knowledge or use of something.

Definitions

• Tagged: These skills give the player a tag to be used in the manner described in the skill. Tags are given to an NPC at the earliest available opportunity after use.
• Ramping: These skills are marked with an asterisk (*) Ramping skill gives tags at increasing rates. Having 1 through 3 levels of an skill will give the player an equal number of tags per day. Having 4 through 6 will give the player twice as many tags as levels of skill. 7 through 9 give three times as many, 10 through 12 give four times as many, and 13 or more levels of skill will give 5 tags per level of skill. So a character with ten levels of Weaponsmithing will be given 40 tags for use that day.
• Swing: One attempt to strike (even ranged) with a weapon, regardless of whether shot makes contact or not.
• Strike: One successful hit on a target with a weapon, regardless of how many swings were attempted in order to hit.
• Unconscious: Being at zero hit points.

Durability
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This skill adds one to the level of the character for purposes of determining Hit Points.

WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This tagged Technoid skill allows them to adapt their weapons in a minor way so as to be effective against strictly one type of creature.

Note that some traps may be set without the use of this skill. This will be indicated on the tag if it is the case.

Disguise
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
A character using Disguise may apply any amount of makeup or costuming effects to change the look of their character outside the normal allowances (i.e. this means a character can appear to be another race if desired). This lasts until the character again uses Disguise, either to return to their normal appearance or change to a new Disguised appearance. The character must provide all props and physreps necessary to do this. They cannot appear to be another individual by any OOG means (in other words, to impersonate an individual they MUST convince others that they are this individual through only the use of makeup, props, and in-game roleplaying -- they cannot simply state 'I look like Mr. X'). A disguise may be removed a number of ways:

1. When a player takes damage, they must call “Disguise” in a loud and clear voice. At the end of combat, they must immediately either switch to their proper racial makeup or expend another tag to “reset” their disguise.
2. A disguise may removed at will by the character.
3. A character with the Paramedic skill may ask a willing or incapacitated character “Are you disguised?” and then remove the disguise.

Feign Death
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This skill may be used by a character to falsely answer the Paramedic questions "Are you dead?" "Are you dying?" and "Are you unconscious?" It takes a three-count to activate the Feign Death Ability. The player may then answer Yes to any one of these questions, although it is not true. At the end of this time period, their body ceases to be in their control, and they drop like a rag doll. While feigning, they may use no IP skills, and may not voluntarily move their body, but they are as aware of their surroundings as if they were awake. A character with Feign Death may choose to exit this state instantaneously, at any point he or she chooses.

Pick Locks
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This skill allows a character to attempt to pick any lock, electronic or mechanical, presented in Pathways. This skill does not guarantee success, only that an attempt may be made.

Pick Locks *
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
(This is a set of alternative rules for chapters that do not wish to use true lockpicks and lockpicking methods) A lock will have a rating of 1 to 10. For each rating level, a lock requires ten seconds in order to pick the lock. A player may expend a number of Pick Locks tags in order to reduce the count by ten seconds for every tag expended in this way, to no less than 3 seconds. At the end of this count, the lock is considered picked and may be opened OOP by the guide.

Streetwise *
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This tagged skill indicates the character's know-how and level of contacts on the street. For each tag used, a character may make a query submission to plot, requesting information on a variety of topics. Multiple tags may be turned in to improve the detail of the information, or increase the accuracy of the answers received. This is done during debriefing. Information received may be in the form of rumors heard, a thrown away letter found in the garbage, or even a map. See the section on "Streetwise" for more information.

Business Management
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
Through networking, you are able to maintain a secondary career in OOP time. You get one green/level/game. (Note: This does not come out of treasure policy)

Environmental Adaptation
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This skill allows the user to have a continuous barrier that protects them from ambient environmental effects. Note that this only protects against conditions which are consistent, such as extreme heat, extreme cold, or nuclear radiation. Note that this does not protect the user from chemical or biological attacks of any kind, and does not protect them from sudden “burst” effects. For example, a character with Environmental Adaptation would not take damage from ambient nuclear radiation, but would take damage from being hit by a nuclear blast. The same character would not take damage from extreme heat, although a lava flow would still be just as deadly. This skill does not eliminate the need for oxygen, or grant any resistance to ingested poison. This barrier also grants the character to utilize all skills, ignoring environmental modifiers. For example, if radiation in the air is screwing with your computer, you could still use jury rig and encrypt/decrypt on it normally.

Identify Items
WAR: SOL: SPY: MYS: ENG:
This allows you to identify any effects that an advanced tech item or magic item might bestow on the wielder, as well as the basic method to activate said effects.

This allows you to wield your fists as weapons for IP damage. The phys-rep is a dagger-sized weapon, however it cannot be stolen or disarmed. A fist’s base damage is zero, and the flavor is pummel unless the character has superhuman strength, in which case it is basic.

Improvised Attack (Ranged)
