MECHANICS - HALF
Skills:
Control:
Acrobatics: Precision in structure control. Using it involves a simple roll versus a target difficulty. This depends on how hard the maneuver to be attempted is and can be modified by existing conditions. Such movement are completely inaccessible to those who lack the skill. Examples: Back flips, tumbles, climbing. Users: jesters, thieves.
Athletics: Measure of sustainability in structure control. Unlike acrobatics, the skill of athletics involves the direct manipulation of structure power. A simple roll determines how long can a straining activity be maintained or how successful it is. Those without athletics have no knowledge on how to pace themselves, or how to harness their power, tiring easily. Examples: running, jumping, lifting. Users: messengers, soldiers.
Blunt weapons (combat): Structure combat using kinetic bladed or blunt weapons. These are usually maces, axes or any such weapon that depends on impact force to do damage. Such weapons are considered as offensive and parries are extremely difficult to do. Examples: cleave, bash. Users: Heavy infantry, peasants.
Bows (combat): structure control precision in handling bows. Users: archers, hunters.

Carpentry (craft): working wood to produce furniture or any other object made of wood.
Fletcher (craft): working wood to produce bows and arrows. A boyer/fletcher has limited carpentry and leather working knowledge.

Stealth – urban: hiding and moving without being noticed in a artificial surrounding. Users: rogues.
Stealth – wild: hiding and moving without being noticed in a natural environment. Users: hunters, rangers
