Chapter 4: Skills

Concentration

CON

Lady White uses the concentration Skill to perform the heal Skill while in a fire fight.

This Skill allows you to perform actions that take intense focus, even while chaos and danger rages all around you.

Determining the difficulty: A DC of 15 is suitable for attempting complex actions or spells while in combat. Raise the difficulty if the character is hurt, or the environment is especially harsh.

Success: You may then move on to the Skill, spell or other action that requires the focus. Performing a concentration check is a free action.

Failure: You try to perform an action, but do not succeed.

Special: To avoid being struck in melee combat when casting a spell, the player character automatically makes a Concentration Skill check DC 15. If the PC makes the check, they cast the spell and do not provoke an attack of opportunity. If they fail the Concentration check, they cast their spell but then do provoke an attack of opportunity.

Endurance

CON

Hawk uses the endurance Skill to keep walking, despite his thirst and the intense Talzzeroon sun.

This Skill allows you to keep going, even though a normal person would be physically exhausted.

Rules: You gain a +2 bonus on all Fortitude saves. You may also spend 1 Skill point to add 1d8 to any fortitude test that involves endurance.

Running

CON

This Skill allows you to move faster.

Any running tests may be made with this Skill. A running test can add to you movement for the round. It requires all your actions put towards movement and a straight path.

Awake

CON

Jaldin uses the awake Skill to keep watch all night.

This Skill allows you to get by with far less sleep than most people need.
