The Awareness skill reflects your ability to perceive hidden dangers and to notice small details about your physical surroundings. You use the Awareness skill to notice ambushes, spot traps and discern other threats to you and your allies. Awareness is not tied to any one sense; it encompasses them all. When using Awareness to detect a hidden enemy, the Test is always Opposed. Otherwise, the thing you are trying to detect applies a Difficulty based on how cunningly concealed it is. An Awareness Test is usually a Free Action made in reaction to something.

You can use the Barter skill to negotiate deals and get better prices on goods and services. When dealing with day-to-day affairs, like haggling in a bazaar over the price of a fine set of tarot cards, or trading lho-sticks for food in an arbitrator cell block, a single Test is sufficient. However, for important deals, such as those entailing risk to one side, carried out under dangerous circumstances or involving a large amount of Thrones (negotiating the bounty on the head of a dangerous alien, for instance), the GM may call for an Opposed Test, with both sides using their Barter skill. As a rough guide, a success will reduce the price of an item by 10%, with each additional success reducing it by a further 5%. A typical Barter Test takes about five minutes, but delicate dealings and intricate negotiations may require more time, as decided by the GM.

When you make a Blather Test, you stall for time by running off at the mouth, spewing a stream of words and nonsense in an attempt to confuse and distract others. A Blather Test is always Opposed by your target’s Willpower (or Scrutiny). If you succeed and the target fails, the target is distracted by you and can do nothing for one Round, staring dumbfounded and wondering if you are drunk, crazy or both. For every degree of success, you dumbfound the target for an additional Round. If your target succeeds and you fail, or if you both fail, your attempt at verbal acrobatics fails and the target may act normally. In the case where you both succeed, the character that had the most degrees of success determines the outcome. You can also use Blather against multiple opponents. For similar opponents—those that have the same general Characteristics—make a Blather Test as normal, but the GM rolls just one Willpower Test. If you win the Opposed Test, you affect a number of targets equal to your Fellowship Bonus. NPCs, while confused by your banter, are unaffected by your words if they are in obvious danger or if it is clear there are preparations being made to harm them. The target must understand the language you are speaking or the Test automatically fails—you cannot, for instance, use this Skill against animals. A Blather Test is a Full Action.

The Charm skill is used to befriend others. You make Charm Tests whenever you want to change the minds of individuals or small groups, to beg, or seduce. You need not make a Charm Test every time you talk to an NPC; only when you want to change their opinions of you or convince them to do something for you, such as giving you a tip, a dance or a kiss. A Charm Test can affect a number of targets equal to your Fellowship Bonus and your targets must be able to see and hear you clearly, and understand what you say. A Charm Test typically takes one minute.

The Ciphers skill reflects an understanding of shorthand codes employed by certain groups to confer basic ideas, warnings, and information about a given area. This can be in the form of hand signals or as physical symbols inscribed on a surface, usually in a subtle place. Ciphers are not very sophisticated, mostly used to warn of danger, mark a target or indicate protection. Skill Tests are not required to read basic messages but may be necessary to decipher complicated communications or worn or damaged signs.

Underworld: Convoluted systems of hand gestures, clothing styles, signs and other such chicanery used by criminal fraternities to communicate key information. A Ciphers Test usually takes a Full Action to give or inscribe the sign, and a Free Action to comprehend it.

Use the Common Lore skill to recall the habits, institutions, traditions, public figures and superstitions of a particular world, cultural group, organisation or race. This Skill does not represent scholarly learning (that is Scholastic Lore), nor obscure forbidden knowledge (that is Forbidden Lore), but rather the basics you learn by growing up or travelling extensively through a region. When making a Common Lore Test, you recall basic information about the subject. Each degree of success reveals a bit more information as determined by the GM.


Adeptus Arbites: Knowledge of the various arms and sub-sects of the Arbites, including such things as their ranking structure and common procedures.

Imperium: Knowledge of the sectors, segmentums and most well-known worlds of the Imperium.

Underworld: Understanding of organised crime and sedition within the Imperium.

Concealment is used whenever you want to hide from sight. To use this Skill, there must be appropriate terrain (trees, walls, buildings or some other obstacle) or some concealing effect like fog or darkness. Otherwise, the test automatically fails. Concealment is always an Opposed Test, in which you pit your Concealment Test against your opponent’s Awareness Test (or half their Perception if they do not have the Awareness skill). You need not Test Concealment when you hide, only when someone is looking for you. If you succeed, you remain unseen. If you remain perfectly still, you gain a +10 bonus to your Test. A Concealment Test is usually a Half Action.

The Deceive skill is used to lie and con others. You make Deceive Tests whenever you would convince others of something that is not necessarily true, want to dupe them or otherwise swindle and mislead them. You need not make a Deceive Test every time you lie to an NPC; only when you want to change their opinions of you or convince them of something. A Deceive Test can affect a number of targets equal to your Fellowship Bonus and your targets must be able to see and hear you clearly, and understand what you say. Deceive is typically opposed by Scrutiny. A Deceive Test typically takes one minute.

You may use the Dodge skill once per Round to negate a successful hand-tohand or ranged attack. On a successful Test, the attack deals no Damage. See Chapter VII: Playing the Game for more information on Dodge. A Dodge Test is a Reaction.

The Drive skill is used to control autos, trucks, landspeeders and other land-based or hover vehicles. Driving under normal conditions does not require a Test. However, Tests may be called for when navigating treacherous terrain, going at excessive speed or attempting dangerous manoeuvres. Opposed Drive Tests are made between pursuers and pursued during a chase. A Drive Test is typically a Half Action, but certain manoeuvres may require more or less time.

You can use Evaluate to determine the approximate value of everyday objects, as well as valuables such as archeotech and other objects d’art. A successful Test reveals the item’s market price and possibly a little bit about the item itself. Since a failed Test may result in the miscalculation of an item’s true value, it is recommended that the GM rolls Evaluate Tests in secret and tells the player what his character believes to be true. Evaluating an item usually takes at least one minute, although the GM may decide to give a bonus if the character takes more time or a penalty if he simply gives it a quick once over.

The Inquiry skill is your ability to pick up rumours, secrets and guarded information by asking questions, buying drinks and generally watching and listening for anything of interest that might bubble up. Inquiry can be used in one of two ways. The first and most common way is to pick up general information about local developments. A successful Test reveals basic information, with additional and higher-quality intelligence with each degree of success. Inquiry can also be used as an Investigation skill, wherein you might be chasing after a particular fact or secret. For more information on investigation, see Chapter VII: Playing the Game. Making an Inquiry Test usually represents an hour or so of activity, but may represent a much longer or shorter period as circumstances dictate.

Use the Scrutiny skill to make assessments about people you encounter, to determine if someone is lying to you, to sense ulterior motives and generally appraise the worth of another being. When trying to perceive a falsehood, or some other form of deception, you make an Opposed Test, pitting your Scrutiny against the target’s Deceive. If you beat your opponent by achieving more degrees of success, you get a hunch that something is not right.
Note that Scrutiny does not confer telepathy and cannot be used to reveal all the secrets about a target. Rather, this Skill serves to counteract attempts to manipulate you through Interaction skills such as Charm, Deceive and Intimidate.

Use the Search skill whenever you want to examine an area for concealed objects, clues and anything else that might be hidden. Search differs from Awareness in that you Test Awareness passively, Testing whenever some hidden danger might appear or to notice a small detail as you move past it. Search, on the other hand, represents an active effort to check an area. A single Search Test is sufficient to cover a small room or area. When an object or individual is deliberately hidden, a Search Test is resolved as an Opposed Test, pitting your Search Test against your target’s Concealment Test. A Search Test takes a minimum of five minutes, dependent on the area being examined.

You can use the Security skill to bypass locks and other security systems. The Difficulty of the Test depends on the quality of the defence. Generally one Test is sufficient, but more complicated systems may require additional Tests or degrees of success. A Security Test takes one minute, with each degree of success reducing this time by ten seconds.

Use the Silent Move skill whenever you want to creep about without making a noise. The Difficulty depends on the surface on which you walk—broken glass, twigs, gravel and so on, can all make extra noise. A Silent Move Test is always an Opposed Test, pitting your Skill against your opponent’s Awareness skill (or half their Perception if they do not have the Awareness skill). A Silent Move Test is usually a Free Action made as part of a Move Action.

The Speak Language skill is used to communicate with others using a common tongue. Although the people of the Imperium are widely scattered, they are united by an official tongue—that of Low Gothic. However, every world has its own local dialects and peculiarities, and sometimes even its own language. Under normal circumstances, Tests are unnecessary if all speakers know the language.

A character may use Tech-Use to repair mechanical items and to work out how unusual technical artefacts work. When using a basic, simple piece of mechanical equipment under normal circumstances, such as a vox or auspex, no Test is required. A Tech-Use Test is needed if the item is unusual, malfunctioning or conditions are especially troublesome, such as attempting to use an auspex during an electrical storm, or trying to get an ancient warp engine to start up after a thousand years’ disuse. Tech-Use may also be used to repair faulty or damaged items, the difficulty depending on the complexity of the item and the damage dealt to it. Tech-Use might sometimes be used to build an item from scratch, although a relevant Trade skill is more commonly used. A Tech-Use Test to figure out how an item works usually takes one minute, but might take less or more time depending on the complexity. A Test made to repair an item can take much longer, usually one hour but reduced by ten minutes for every degree of success.

Having a Trade skill indicates that you know how to practice a trade or craft. With this Skill, you can make a living or create items suited to your trade. You can also make a Trade Test to identify the handiwork of a particular craftsman, or to know something about a particular item. See page 96 for rules on Crafting. A Trade Test normally represents a day’s hard work. A Trade Test made to identify an item or craftsman is usually a Full Action, during which time the tradesman sucks his teeth and sighs before making his prognosis.

  Габриэль был офицером вооруженных сил США, ровно как и его отец, а до этого и его дед и так далее. Династия была у них такая, военная. Повелось это еще с тех бородатых времен когда старушка Америка была разодрана на части гражданской войной, а конституция была только в замыслах у дедушки Линкольна. В свои 27 он уже успел неплохо поколесить по свету в составе отряда "Дельта" и оставить свой след по всему миру по всему миру. Но первому лейтенанту Ягеру этого всего было мало, он ощущал себя не в своей тарелке в те редкие моменты, когда возвращался обратно в пустующий дом своих родителей и хотел чего-то большего и плюнув на все он подал заявку в Отряд Специальных Операций ЦРУ, которую к его удивлению приняли. Затем 2 года слились для него в один миг, бесконечные командировки большинство из которых носили гриф "Секретно" и оседали в архивах, ранения, медицинские процедуры и прочая рутина. Но все изменилось ровно за один день.

Операция "Тихий Шторм". Афганистан. Провинция Забуль.
   Группа оперативников двигалась уже третьи сутки по условно вражеской территории, их основной задачей было повторить успех июньской операции в Зардаке, где благодаря оперативной информации и ликвидации опорных пунктов моджахеды смогли взять провинцию под свой контроль. Сейчас они не были гражданами США, они были призраками без роду и племени которые двигались по гористой местности Афгана. В основном они двигались маршрутами, которые должны были скрыть их как от местных, которые могли сотрудничать с армией Талибана, так и во избежание встречи с отрядами спецназа РФ. Но, не все всегда идет по плану, ровно как и случилось в то время. Сначала сержант Диккинс потерял во время преодоления особо сложного горного района свой рацион питания, а потом и сержант Колинс критично повредил ногу по неосторожности. Из-за этих мелочей им пришлось выйти в ближайший кишлак, за помощью, но горная деревня их встретила тишиной.
  На небе сквозь жиденькие тучи пробивался слабенький свет солнца, освещая безрадостную картину. Повсюду валялся разнообразный мусор типичный для деревни, открытые деревянные плетни и пустота. Возникло ощущение, что вся жизнь исчезла из этого маленького поселка на несколько сот человек.
- Отряд стой. - скомандовал Габриэль у входа в деревню подняв в верх кулак его цепкий взгляд еще раз обшарил ближайшие постройки и после этого он продолжил, - Диккинс, Лоуренс проверьте дома, не может быть, что-бы все люди исчезли. Ватсон, Гонзалес, Волкин обеспечьте безопасность периметра, Паркер ты остаешься с Колинсом. Хомит ты со мной. - каждый из бойцов знал, свое дело поэтому без промедления приступили к выполнению приказа командира. Сам же Ягер вместе с Хомитом двинулись к мечети.
- Командир. - подал голос Хомит, - А с каких пор, обезьяны занимаются выжиганием на своих домах? - он мотнул стволом своего карабина в сторону одной из мазанок, указывая на обугленное пятно.
Габриэль подошел поближе и внимательно рассмотрел, этот странный арт объект. - Не нравится все это мне Хомит - произнес он приложив руку к пятну. - Ой не нравится мне это все. Пахнет смертью, и паленным человеческим жиром. - Надо торопиться. - он перехватил поудобнее оружие и попытался выйти на связь с остальными членами отряда, но в ответ был лишь треск статики, который резко прервался и наступила тишина, которая буквально через секунду разорвалась канонадой огня и гудящим звуком, от которого заныли зубы.
- Контакт! - закричал Хомит тоже открывая огонь. - Одиночная цель, 13 часов, ориентир дом с пятном 500 метров! - не долго думая Ягер присоединился к огневому валу, однако неизвестный противник не особо обращал внимание и сделал ровно один залп из своего орудия. Зеленый шар энергии разметал бойцов заставив их потерять сознание. Следующие что Ягер помнил, это лишь врачи и после выздоровления новое назначение, в котором было написано явится на специальную базу для дальнейшего прохождения службы в рядах интернациональных войск
