Skills
Skills are rated between 0 and 100, and are tested against using percentile dice. This rating is called the skills Mastery Level. Penalties or bonuses can modify the Effective Mastery Level, as can penalties due to injuries, exhaustion, or encumberance. A number called the Skill Base determines how good a character is at using a skill when it is first learned, and how quickly the skill improves. The Skill Index is determined by averaging three attributes. Opposed tests can be resolved just according to the rules for opposed tests on WFRP pg. 89.Automatic Skills
Certain skills are automatically available to all characters. These are called Universal Skills. The attributes to use in computing the skill indices for these skills can be found in HM3 Skills 3. The number after the slash indicates the multiple of the Skill Index that is used to calculate the opening Mastery Level of the skill- i.e, Climbing/4 means that Climbing has an opening Mastery Level of Skill Index times 4. Ignore Harnmaster's sun sign modifications when calculating skill indices.
Climbing/4: Climbing hills, walls, cliffs, etc. At the GM's option, climbs that require special equipment (harnesses, ropes) cannot be attempted without special training.
Jumping/4: Basic long and broad jumps.
Stealth/3: Hiding and moving sneakily.
Throwing/4: Throwing random objects. Note that Thrown Weapons (darts, javelins, etc.) is a separate skill; this skill covers tossing things to your friends, etc.
Awareness/4: Environmental awareness- covers both noticing things when not actively looking, and searching/checking for things- combines WFRP's Perception and Search.
Gossip/3: Same as in WFRP. Replaces Harnmaster's Intrigue skill.
Rhetoric/3: Convincing people of things. Replaces WFRP's Charm skill; Command is a specialty. Also replaces Harnmaster's Oratory skill.
Singing/3: Ability to carry a tune. Anyone can try, but don't expect to make any money for it.
Initiative/4: Combat reflexes and moral.
Unarmed/4: Unarmed combat.
Dodge/5: Avoiding blows.
Racial Skills
There are certain skills associated with each race. They are opened at the indicated Mastery Level during character creation, and can be improved using Option Points. Skills listed here that are also automatic skills are opened at the higher of the two levels. If they are gained again as a career skill, they improve by one Skill Base. (i.e, a Dwarf who gains Initiative as a career skill opens it at SBx6).
