Chapter 8: Skills
Comedy, Pun
A pun is a play on words and a demonstration
of wit. In this skill, pun is used with comedic
effect. Whenever a pun is attempted in hopes of
being funny, a Pun Comedy skill check may be made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from Charisma. Higher results correspond with a
better effect from the pun. The effect of a pun can
vary considerably. Consider the table below:

Constellations
Whenever the constellations need to be identified
in the night sky or their trajectories discussed,
a Constellations skill check is made. This skill is not
to be confused with the skill of Divination (Astrology),
though they are often used together.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from Vision and the sub-abilities of
Reflection and Spatial Intelligence. Higher results
correspond with better accuracy about the Constellations.
The Aedile will determine the TH for each
specific check.
