Chapter 8: Skills
Climb
Climbing is the action of attempting to
physically raise oneself regarding elevation. Whenever
a character attempts to Climb, a Climb skill
check is made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from the sub-abilities of Physical Fitness
and Agility. Higher results correspond with
better success at climbing. Characters who are fully
encumbered are unable to Climb.
Divide the climber’s Strength sub-ability
score by their weight, multiply by 100, and subtract
100. The result is a modifier to the Climb skill check.
Next, the ease of the surface to Climb must
be considered. If the surface permits sufficient footholds
and handholds, then no penalty applies. If
the surface resembles the difficulty of climbing a
tree with thick bark, then the character incurs a penalty
of - 5. If the surface is basically smooth, then
the character incurs a penalty of - 15. If the surface
is smooth and oily, then the character incurs a - 20
penalty.
Light armor incurs a - 5 penalty, while medium
armor incurs a - 10 penalty, and heavy armor
incurs a - 15 penalty.
Climbing up a rope yields a bonus of + 5.
Climbing up a rope while wearing gloves gives a
bonus of + 15. If the rope has periodic knots, then
a + 2 bonus is incurred.
Consult the table below to determine
whether or not the character may Climb as well as
their rate, and the likelihood of them falling per
minute. Note that their chance of falling may be
eliminated if they are assisted.

Clockmaking
A clock is a device that tells time. Whenever
a clock is crafted, a Clockmaking skill check is
made. For more information on the types of clocks
available, consult Chapter 9: Equipment.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Spatial sub-ability. Higher results correspond
with better quality clocks. On the table below,
Duration represents the length of time until the
clock breaks down, and Inaccuracy represents the
amount of time that the clock will be off after a 24hour
period. Consult the table below to determine
the qualities of the clock:

Cobbling
A cobbler is a maker of shoes and other
footwear. Whenever crafting footwear is attempted,
a Cobbling skill check is made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Common Sense sub-ability. Higher results
correspond with better quality footwear. On
the table below, the column Duration assumes that
the footwear is worn daily and subjected to normal
wear and tear for the duration listed. Consult the
table below to see how long the footwear will last
before being inoperable:
