Possessed by: Professional Gamblers, Amateur Gamblers Specialties: Card Games, Dice, Roulette, One-Armed Bandits Game Playing This Skill covers games of strategy and skill such as chess, go, xiang qui, hnefatafl and so on. It does not cover cards games (see Gambling), or simple games like tic-tac-toe, which rely largely on luck. Human chess games, in which enchanted humans are ordered to move about a large board, are quite popular among the nobility (especially the Unseelie Court). • Novice: You can beat your older sister. • • Practiced: You could get on a school team. • • • Competent: You could get on a college team. • • • • Expert: You can beat most computers. • • • • • Master: You are one of the masters. Possessed by: Enthusiasts, Nobility Specialties: Chess, Go, Risk, Mah Jong, 3D Chess Gunsmithing You can repair firearms and produce ammunition for a variety of different guns. At high levels of skill, you can construct specialty ammunition, such as caseless, hollowpoint, mercury-tipped or silver bullets. Given the time and the tools (and enough skill), you can build a gun from scratch — perhaps even one of your own design. • Novice: Black powder and paper cartridges • • Practiced: Cased standard ammunition • • • Competent: Magnum rounds • • • • Expert: Caseless and hollow-point rounds • • • • • Master: You name it.

Possessed by: Survivalists, Military Personnel, Pre- Industrial Societies, Outdoor Types Specialties: Temperate Forest, Jungle, Bush/Scrub, Mountain, Coast, Arctic, Desert Hypnotism You can place a subject into a trance and use hypnotism to gather information or treat psychiatric problems. To place a willing subject into a trance, make an opposed roll of your Charisma + Hypnotism against the subject's Intelligence. (For an unwilling subject who is immobilized to comply, use Intelligence + Willpower). The number of successes indicates the depth of the trance and can be added to your Hypnotism to roll for the success of tasks. For example, a hypnotist with Charisma 4 and Hypnotism 4 hypnotizes a willing subject with Intelligence 5. The hypnotist rolls five successes and the subject rolls 2 — a total of three successes in the hypnotist's favor, indicating a fairly deep trance. The hypnotist can now roll seven dice (three successes plus four dice from Hypnotism 4) to probe the subject's mind. • Novice: You do it to entertain occasionally. • • Practiced: You are a skilled amateur. • • • Competent: You can find some interesting secrets; you can do this as part of your profession.
