Diagnosing
This skill may only be used by a doctor. A
doctor must diagnose, or determine what is the problem,
with a patient. Whenever a doctor must diagnose
a patient, a Diagnosing skill check is made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the average of
the modifiers from the Intelligence and Wisdom
abilities. The higher the roll, the more accurate the
diagnosis. The Aedile will determine the difficulty
of each diagnosis.
Direction Sense
The skill to sense a given direction, such as
north, is valuable to sailors, rangers, and dungeoneers
alike. Whenever a character attempts to sense a direction,
a Direction Sense skill check is made.
Check: Roll 3d10 and apply the modifier
from the sub-ability Intuition. If the character has
suddenly appeared in an absolutely unfamiliar location,
such as by means of a Teleport spell, then a -
20 penalty is incurred.
TH
Result
< 17 The direction seems impossible to discern.
An incorrect direction is sensed. The MM
must roll 1d8 to determine the direction,
17-20 rerolling the die if the correct direction
results. Let 1=N, 2=NE, 3=E, 4=SE,
5=S, 6=SW, 7=W, and 8=NW.
> 20 The correct direction is sensed.
Disarm
When a character attempts to remove a
weapon from a combative foe, a Disarm skill check
is made.
Check: First, make a skill check with whichever
skill is appropriate (Brawling, Specific Weapon,
etc.). If the attack succeeds, then the foe is generally
unharmed. If the skill check succeeds, then Roll
3d10 and apply the average of the modifiers from
the sub-abilities of Hand-Eye Coordination and
Agility. While the results vary with the method and
weapon used, consult the table below for a general
attempt at resolution:

Example

damage is done to it or the foe, and the
weapon remains in their grasp.

the foe, and falls to the ground.

the foe, and falls to the ground several feet
away.
