Chapter 8: Skills
Hunting
The act of Hunting may be performed by a
character in detail, such as utilizing other skills in
combination, like Hide, Sight, and Aim or Hurl. This
skill, however, is intended to provide a simple result
to avoid an unnecessarily time-consuming routine.
Hunting is usually prohibited for peasants; game is
usually reserved for nobility. Whenever a character
desires to hunt, a Hunting skill check is made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers for Vision and the sub-ability of Hand-
Eye Coordination. The table below assumes that
hunting occurs in average conditions and climate.
Penalties may incur, such as when in a desert or during
the dead of winter. Consult the table below:

Hurl
This skill applies individually to different missile
weapons that may be hurled. This skill is distinct
from the Aim skill; Hurl is concerned only with
weapons that may be hurled, such as daggers, hatchets,
knives, rocks, spears, etc. For each missile
weapon in which 3 SP have been invested, a weapon
may be used in combat without penalty.
Check: Roll to determine the body part attacked.
Now roll 3d10 and apply the average of the
modifiers for the Hand-Eye Coordination sub-ability
and Vision. A skill check with a missile weapon
means that it is being hurled at a foe or target. For
those who have never before used this missile
weapon in combat or trained with it, there is a penalty
of - 20 to the skill check.
The base TH is the foe’s CA (Current Armor).
Now, consider that each weapon has modifiers
to hit certain types of armors; these modifiers
affect the skill check. Further, every 2 SP invested
or accumulated with a Specific Weapon beyond the
first 5 will improve the skill check by 1. This skill
does not increase damage.
Impaling
This skill has no skill check, but instead the
points invested in it contribute to the severity of
the damage for stabbing weapons on the Graphic
Gore tables in Chapter 10: Combat.
Inkmaking
Whenever ink is to be produced, an
Inkmaking skill check must be made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the Common Sense sub-ability. Higher results
correspond to higher quality ink. The Aedile
will determine the TH of each circumstance.
