Skills
The followingentries describe the Skills in the game. The heading for each entry provides the skill’s name, with that skill’s Key Attribute in parentheses.
A brief description of the skill is followed by a list of Actions anyone can use, and then the Actions you can perform only if you are trained in that skill. Some Actions list sample tasks for each rank to give you a better sense of what you can accomplish as your Proficiency increases. As the Actions of a skill aren’t comprehensive, there may be times when the GM asks you to attempt a skill check without using any of the listed Actions, or times when the GM asks you to roll using a different Key Attribute modifier.
Most Skills include entries for success and failure, as well as descriptions of what occurs on a critical success or a critical failure. If either of the critical entries is absent, treat those results as a success or failure, as normal.
