- Guncraft The percentage chance is what the Armiger needs to properly repair his firearm & craft shot. An Armiger must be carrying Guncraft Tools 25sp, to repair firearms. In the ALMOST Campaign, an Armiger must provide the mold and instruction in addition to the cost of the bullets as creating shot is not common knowledge.
- Delicate Tasks This percentage chance is used for disabling small mechanical traps like poisoned needles, and is also used for picking pockets. The skill is also used to detect whether a mechanism, keyhole, or other small location contains a trap that can be removed.
- Hearing Sounds A thief can hear well when concentrating; this mainly includes listening at doors.
- Hiding in Shadows Thieves can make themselves very hard to see when lurking in the shadows. Anyone can hide, of course, but thieves are virtually invisible and can move around while hiding.
- Moving Silently Thieves can move quietly, without being heard.
- Opening Locks Thieves can pick locks; some locks might be unusually difficult, in which case the Referee might reduce the percentage chance as appropriate.
Clan Leader
At 14th level, an Armiger may establish (or take over) as a clan Elder. The existing Elders may not accept the leadership of a new Elder and an Armiger may have to claim that rank by challenging and killing the opposing clan elder/s.
