Art: Creating works of art, either for personal gratification or for sale to others. This includes painting, sculpting, and graphics, among other disciplines.

Blind Fighting: You can counterattack in hand to hand combat with no negative modifiers for being unable to see your opponent, provided they attack you first.
Brawling: This skill lets you inflict bloody damage when using fists, claws, teeth, or any other natural attack. If you reduce a foe to 0 cards or 0 Health this way, the foe goes comatose. These actions (bites, eye gouges, kidney punches, and so on) are generally frowned upon in heroic circles.

Espionage: The art of spying. You can notice small clues, operate spy equipment, and tell when someone is on your trail.
Fast Exit: You can attack physically and move to firing distance before any foe can complete an action that affects you. But make sure you've properly analyzed the situation, because if even one of the opponents has an Intellect higher than your Agility, any of your opponents can redirect actions toward you, and you can't dodge any of them.
Finance: Capitalism at its finest. Willpower may be used in all business dealings, with a one level reduction in difficulty.
Gadgetry: Disassembling something mechanical in order to make something else. This skill reduces the difficulty of the creation of any item if a suitable item is available for dismantling.

Leadership: Keeping a team together and focused on goals. If a leader makes an average Willpower action, all allied characters gain +1 on all actions. But once this inspiration is triggered, if the leader stops leading (leaves or is knocked out, for example), all allies suffer 1 on all actions until the leader returns.
Lockpicking: Opening locks of all sorts. You can also reduce the difficulty in securing locks and making locks and keys.
Manipulation: Getting people to do what you want without letting them know it. This includes scheming, seduction, and other such machinations.

Physics: The science of physical laws. You understand spatial geometry, flight, light and sound, and the motions of planets and stars.
Psychiatry: The science of the human mind. You can tell if an individual is under mental control or influence. You may be able to heal emotional scars and fractured psyches, given time.
Piloting: Working knowledge of most 20th century aircraft. Even in a small spaceship, you have an intuitive understanding of which flashing light is the accelerator and which is the brake.
Politics: The art of oration and political strategy. You can reduce the difficulty to influence others toward your views. This skill aids in dealing with the complexities of bureaucracy.

Survival: Dealing with the rigors of outdoor life. You can use this skill any time you are faced with natural challenges, such as frigid cold, desert heat, starvation, and loss of direction.
Taunting: Cracking wise in combat, to the detriment of easily irritated opponents. If you spend at least one exchange talking up a storm (and you must roleplay it), you can attempt an average Willpower (Willpower) action to cause an opponent to attack immediately. When so enraged, the opponent cannot make surprise attacks or use any skills to modify the difficulty of the attack.
Tactics: If you take a full exchange to analyze an ongoing or anticipated combat situation and are able to share your insights with allies, you and all your allies gain a +4 to all actions in their first exchange and a +2 to all actions in their second exchange. Not all allies need to attack at the same time to gain this benefit some may hold themselves in reserve and still receive the bonuses on their first exchange, rather than on the exchange that others first engage in combat.
Weapon Systems: The science of complex weaponry. You can build and dismantle high-powered guns and guidance systems.
Writing: Expressing oneself in, um, one's, well, you know. You can reduce the difficulty when writing persuasive fiction or nonfiction. |
