ANIMAL HANDLING =
AWR, Survival
You might use this skill when riding a mount (see p. 330) or
when trying to train an animal that views you as a friendly
creature.
APPLIED FORCE
STR, Athleticism
You can use this skill to break down doors, use a crowbar
to leverage heavy weights, and similar applications of pure
strength with or without a mechanism to assist you.
APPRAISING
INT, Observation
This skill can help you determine how valuable something
is, or whether the materials are genuine. If you also have
a Crafting skill, your MC might let you use that skill when
appraising a particular craft, or even let you make an INT/
Appraising check and a skill check using that Crafting skill,
taking the higher.
ARCANA
INT, Knowledge
You can use this skill when trying to recall information
related to planar entities or trying to recall factual
information about any of the five Sources of Magic. You can
also use this skill to manipulate magical devices.
ART
INT, Knowledge
This skill can help you determine factual information about
art, such as the materials used or the message that the artist
was trying to convey. Your MC might also let you add ½
your Art skill when trying to produce art, although if you
have any points in a Crafting skill, you are more likely to
just use that skill.
ASTROLOGY
INT, Knowledge
You can use this skill when recalling information about
astrological symbols and their significance. Your MC might
rule that you can make an INT/Astrology check to give you
a circumstantial bonus on a CHA/Empathy check or an
AWR/Intuiting check when interacting with someone, as
your understanding of their astrological signs might lend
you insight into their character or unconscious motives.
ASTRONOMY
INT, Knowledge
You might use this skill whenever you want to recall or
infer information related to space and the orbit of planets,
satellites, and the like.
Your MC might let you add ½ your Astronomy when trying
to navigate, although if you have the Navigating skill you are
likely to use that instead.
ATHLETICS
STR, Athleticism
This skill represents your general athletic capacity. When
climbing or swimming, and at your MC’s discretion when
jumping, you might use this skill. If you have a climb speed
or a swim speed, this skill will not come up as often.
BALANCING
DEX, Acrobatics
You might use this skill when traversing tricky and narrow
terrain, such as the lip of a cliff or the pinnacle of a rooftop.
BIOLOGY
INT, Knowledge
This skill will help you to recall or research any information
related to biological studies. Your MC may allow you to
make an INT/Biology check to gain a circumstantial bonus
when making an INT/Nature check or an AWR/Animal
Handling check.
BREWING*
INT, Crafting
If you have the appropriate tools, you can attempt to brew
craft beers, wines, or spirits.
Your MC might also allow you to attempt to make potions,
using ½ of your Brewing skill in place of Alchemy.
You may use this skill when trying to recall or discern
intellectual information about the practice of brewing, and
doing so does not require any tools.
CALLIGRAPHY*
INT, Crafting
When you have the appropriate tools, you can use this skill
to create beautiful calligraphic works.
CHEMISTRY
INT, Knowledge
You can use this skill to recall or research any information
related to chemistry and chemical studies.
COBBLING*
INT, Crafting
If you have the appropriate time and tools, you can use this
skill to repair shoes or make new ones.
CONTORTING
DEX, Acrobatics
This skill allows you to contort your body and squeeze
through spaces that would otherwise be too tight for a
creature of your size. Especially tight contortions will be
more difficult during [[combat]].
COOKING*
INT, Crafting
Given the appropriate time and tools, you can use this
skill to cook delicious food. You can also make checks
to determine the quality or sourcing of food and similar
cooking-related topics, regardless of whether you have tools.
