Editing Skill Descriptions (section)

==PILOT== 
DEX, MANIPULATION, TRAINED ONLY
Use this skill to pilot any vehicle that travels through the air or space, such
as planes, helicopters, or spacecraft.
Check: Routine tasks, such as ordinary movement, don’t require a skill
check. Make a check only when piloting in a dramatic situation (being
chased or attacked, for example, or trying to reach a destination in time).
While piloting, you can attempt simple maneuvers or stunts.
MANEUVER DC
Easy (low-speed turn) 5
Average (sudden reverse, dodging obstacles) 10
Difficult (tight turns) 15
Challenging (loop, barrel roll) 20
Formidable (high-speed maneuvers, dodging obstacles) 25
Try Again: Most Pilot checks have consequences for failure that make
trying again impossible.
Action: A Pilot check is a move action.
Special: At the Gamemaster’s option, Pilot may be further broken down
into more detailed categories requiring specialization, such as airplanes,
jet-planes, helicopters, starfighters, space transports, or space cruisers.
==PROFESSION== WIS, SPECIALTY, TRAINED ONLY
You’re trained in a profession such as accountant, doctor, engineer, game
designer, lawyer, police officer, reporter, teacher, writer, and so forth. Like
Craft, Profession is actually a number of specialties. You can have multiple
Profession skills; each acquired as a separate skill.
While a Craft skill represents skill in making things, a Profession skill
represents training in a job requiring a broader range of less specific
knowledge. Generally speaking, if an occupation is a service industry, it’s
a Profession skill. If it’s in the manufacturing sector, it’s a Craft skill.
Check: You can practice a profession and make a living at it. You know
how to use the tools of the trade, perform the profession’s daily tasks,
supervise untrained helpers, and handle common problems. For example,
a sailor knows how to tie basic knots, tend and repair sails, and stand a
deck watch at sea. The GM sets DCs for job-related tasks.
Action: A Profession check usually requires a minute or more, depending
on the task.
Special: Every 5 full points of bonus in Profession give you a +1 bonus to
Wealth (see page 132).
