\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nRiding allows a hero to mount, control, and ride any beast or beast-drawn vehicle. This includes horses, camels, dragons, wagons, chariots, and the like. See the rules for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Mounted Combat}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.

\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nArrows for all types of bows. 20 arrows per 3 lbs.
\nBrutes focus on core strength and fitness over coordination and flexibility. They treat Athletics as linked to Strength instead of Agility for purposes of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01advancement000]{ Advancement}.

\nFinally, Brutes increase the Short Range of any thrown item by +1. Double that for the adjusted Medium Range, and double again for Long Range. If a thrown item’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Range} is 3/6/12, for example, a Brute’s Range is 4/8/16.
\nFor some, there is only rage. In the ways of their people, in the fury of their passion, in the howl of battle, these brutal souls swear by the creed of conflict. Battle possessed, these savage warriors disdain the life of the professional guard or soldier. They seek to fight for the sake of the act itself.
\nKnown as barbarians, these warmongers know little of tactics, preparation, or the rules of warfare. For them, only the moment exists. They embrace the possibility that the next battle might hold their death. Within the barbarian’s heart beats the primal spirit of struggle. Those who face their rage, beware.
\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.
\nHaving a death wish doesn’t mean an adventurer is suicidal — he might just think his life is worth less than some noble but clearly deadly goal.
\nThose with a Death Wish don’t throw their lives away for no reason, but when there’s a chance to complete a goal they do anything — and take any risk — to achieve it.
\nIt’s said fools and their money are soon parted. Your hero is one of them. The character starts with half the usual starting funds and just can’t seem to hang on to funds acquired after play begins. In general, the character halves the total funds every game week.
\nBiped creatures, with a human-like head, torso and limbs. Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.

\nFor those who relish the thrill of the hunt, there are only predators and prey. From scouts, to trackers, or bounty hunters, all rangers share the predator’s perspective. They value skill with weapons. They excel at stalking even the most elusive game. They train relentlessly to defeat a wide range of quarries.
\nKnowledgeable, patient, and skilled hunters, rangers pursue man, beast, and monster alike. While some track dangerous creatures to protect the frontier, others pursue more cunning game— even fugitives— into and through the dangerous wilds.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nA @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Vow]{vow} is a commitment to others — driven characters want something for themselves. It may be to protect the realm, prove you’re the best knucklebones player in the kingdom, or the best equestrian on Golarion.
\nThe Minor version shapes the character and influences decisions but either happens rarely or is fairly harmless. As a Major Hindrance it’s an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the hero and companions.
\n\n Raised by pirates, bandits, or other troublemakers unwilling to stick out their necks for you, you are accustomed to\n operating on your own. The presence of allies can easily become a distraction, and you do your best to keep them out\n of your space.\n

\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them.

A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nLockpicking, safecracking, picking pockets, sleight of hand, setting and disabling traps, and similar acts of misdirection, sabotage, subterfuge, and manipulation are called Thievery.
\nIf used to pick a lock, crack a safe, disable a trap, or perform a simple unopposed action, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} opens or disables the device, and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} does it in less time, without tripping alarms, or whatever else the GM feels is appropriate.
\nSleight of hand, hiding or planting an item, or picking a pocket require a simple success. If foes are actively watching the character, Thievery is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed} by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice}.
\nThe Game Master should assign penalties for particularly difficult circumstances. Picking a heavy padlock might have a −4 penalty, while hiding a dagger in bulky winter clothing might grant a +2 bonus. Failure typically means the character is spotted or it takes too much time (after which the character can try again). A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.
\nNotes: A sticky, flammable liquid that ignites on impact. @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Heavy Weapon}. Those within the template take 2d4 damage when hit and 2d4–2 damage at the start of their next turn unless dowsed with water. Target might catch Fire.
\nArrows for all types of bows. 20 arrows per 3 lbs.
\nYour bruiser is very large or very fit. Her Size increases by +1 (and therefore Toughness by 1) and she treats her Strength as one die type higher when determining @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Encumbrance} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Minimum Strength} to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty.
\nBrawny can’t increase a character’s Size above +3, and it has no effect on Armor Interference or Armor Restriction.
\nHannis Drelev is a charismatic man who nevertheless can be caught with a sneer on his face in unguarded moments.

If that card is a Five or less, the Quick Edge may be used to draw a replacement until it’s Six or higher.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.

\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nIntimidation is the art of frightening an opponent so that he backs down, reveals information, or flees.
\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.

A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!

\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nHaving a death wish doesn’t mean an adventurer is suicidal — he might just think his life is worth less than some noble but clearly deadly goal.
\nThose with a Death Wish don’t throw their lives away for no reason, but when there’s a chance to complete a goal they do anything — and take any risk — to achieve it.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nA @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Vow]{vow} is a commitment to others — driven characters want something for themselves. It may be to protect the realm, prove you’re the best knucklebones player in the kingdom, or the best equestrian on Golarion.
\nThe Minor version shapes the character and influences decisions but either happens rarely or is fairly harmless. As a Major Hindrance it’s an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the hero and companions.
\nThis stalwart defender risks her life for friends without hesitation. Some Loyal heroes may not act very nice, but are the first to come to their friends’ rescue when they’re threatened.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nThe character has sworn an oath to someone or something they believe in.
\nThe danger in fulfilling the Vow and how often it might occur determines the level of the Hindrance. A Minor Vow might be to serve an order with a broad mandate that rarely conflicts with the party’s goals.
\nA Major Vow makes long-term and frequent demands on the servant’s time and results in great risks to his life.
\nIn faith and the miracles of the divine, many find a greater purpose. Called to serve powers beyond most mortal understanding, all priests provide for the spiritual needs of their people. More than mere preachers, clerics serve as emissaries of their gods.
\nWhile clerics of different faiths share similar abilities, they are as different from one another as the divinities they serve. Some offer healing and redemption, others judge law and truth, and still others spread conflict and corruption.

\nThe long-lived elves are children of the natural world, superficially similar to fey creatures and yet distinct in important ways. Elves value their privacy and traditions. Although they are often slow to make friends, once an outsider is accepted as a comrade, such alliances can last for generations. Elves distrust @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Half-Orc]{half-orcs} and display a fascination with @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Human]{humans}, while remaining mostly indifferent to other peoples.
\nElves are tall, thin souls with pointed ears and deep-set eyes of various colors. Whether they hail from the deep forests or hidden valleys, elves are born more graceful than humans, though somewhat slighter. Elves are known for their patience and affinity for magic.
\nLanguages: Common and Elven.
\nAge Range: Adult 115, old age, 263, max age 350-750.
\nElf Males: Height 5'6-6'8 and weight 116-158 (Average 6'1\" , 127 lbs).
\nElf Females: Height 5'6\"-6'4\" and weight 96-126 (Average 6'1\", 117 lbs).
\nKeen Senses: Elves start with a d6 in @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} instead of a d4. This increases their maximum Notice to d12+1.
Athletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll.

\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.

\nHe draws one extra Benny at the beginning of each game session, allowing him to succeed at important tasks more often than most, and survive incredible dangers.
\nHalflings are small, nimble people with fuzzy brown or black hair on their heads and feet. Their cheerful optimism (or wily cunning) gives them a “never say die” attitude that makes them a match for creatures twice their size. Halflings see no reason to invite trouble and tend to live in their own close-knit communities far off the beaten path. They possess a strong sense of humor, curiosity, and bravado— qualities which lead some halflings to lives of adventure.
\nHalflings prefer to walk barefoot, leading to the bottoms of their feet being roughly calloused.
\nLanguages: Common and Halfling.
\nAge Range: Adult 22, old age 75, max age100-200.
\nHalfling Males: Height 2'10-3'4 and weight 32-38 (Average 3'1\" , 35 lbs).
\nHalfling Females: Height 2'8\"-3'2\" and weight 27-33 (Average 2'11\", 30 lbs).
\nAcademics reflects knowledge of the arts, history, archaeology, religion, and similar fields, or the ability to find that information. If an explorer wants to research when the Imperial Calendar began or cite a line from Azvadeva Pujila, or use his linguistic expertise to decipher a dead language, this is the skill to have.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.
\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.
\nA good entertainer can lift spirits, rally a crowd to action, or simply earn a few coins from the locals. Specifics depend on the situation, setting, and how well the character is known in the area.
\nPerformance covers singing, acting, playing an instrument, or similar tasks that require an audience to appreciate. It is also the arcane skill used by bards.
\nRaising Funds: The amount of money a character can raise by performing is extremely subjective, but as a general rule a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} performance earns 50 gp × the character's Rank (Novice 1, Seasoned 2, 3 for Veteran, 4 for Heroic, and 5 for Legendary). A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} doubles the amount earned.
\nIf the performer has built up a solid reputation in the area or the venue is particularly large, the GM should increase the base gp value appropriately.
\nDeception: Performance can be used instead of @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} if the character is attempting to deceive, bluff, or disguise herself and the GM agrees it makes sense in the context of the situation.
\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t
\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.

A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.

\nThe bards of Golarion bring epic tales of heroism and tragedy to the people. Many are renowned far and wide for their talents, but few realize how crucial they are to parties of brave adventurers. They bolster their allies in dire circumstances, beguile their enemies, and often battle evil with a sword in one hand and a lute in the other.
\nBards cast spells by singing, reciting poetry, or reciting epic tales. They are usually erudite individuals, traveling the land to learn bawdy songs, great histories, and epic legends.
\nAllies must be able to hear the bard to benefit from his various abilities.

\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.
\nBattle is an individual’s command of strategy and tactics. It can be used for general military knowledge and is critical when commanding troops in @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04massbattles000]{Mass Battles}.
\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.

\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nLockpicking, safecracking, picking pockets, sleight of hand, setting and disabling traps, and similar acts of misdirection, sabotage, subterfuge, and manipulation are called Thievery.
\nIf used to pick a lock, crack a safe, disable a trap, or perform a simple unopposed action, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} opens or disables the device, and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} does it in less time, without tripping alarms, or whatever else the GM feels is appropriate.
\nSleight of hand, hiding or planting an item, or picking a pocket require a simple success. If foes are actively watching the character, Thievery is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed} by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice}.
\nThe Game Master should assign penalties for particularly difficult circumstances. Picking a heavy padlock might have a −4 penalty, while hiding a dagger in bulky winter clothing might grant a +2 bonus. Failure typically means the character is spotted or it takes too much time (after which the character can try again). A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.
\nBiped creatures, with a human-like head, torso and limbs. Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.
\nAge Range: Adult 17, old age 53, max age 70-110
\nHuman Males: Height 5'-6'6 and weight 130-220 (Average 5'9\" , 175 lb).
\nHuman Females: Height 4'7\"-6'1\" and weight 95-185 (Average 5'4\", 140 lb).
\nThese daredevils almost always leap before they look. They rarely think things through before taking action, avoid complicated plans, and are at the head of any charge.
\nThis stalwart defender risks her life for friends without hesitation. Some Loyal heroes may not act very nice, but are the first to come to their friends’ rescue when they’re threatened.
\nThis individual was born into privilege or came into it later in life. She may or may not have money, but she still walks in the elite social circles of the world.
\nAristocrats add +2 to @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} when @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} with the local elite, nobles, or other aristocrats. They also add +2 to @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Common Knowledge]{Common Knowledge} rolls made to know the etiquette of the upper class, recognize family trees or heraldry, or recall gossip concerning others of their station.
\nCommand is the basic ability to give clear instructions and support to allies in the thick of battle. Extras in Command Range add +1 to their Spirit or Vigor rolls when attempting to recover from being Shaken or Stunned, respectively.
\nThe hero can anticipate attacks or move erratically under fire. Unless the victim of a surprise attack is taken completely unaware, Dodge subtracts 2 from all @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{ranged attacks} made against him. Dodge does not stack with actual @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{cover}.
\nDuelists represent the pinnacle of elegant swordplay, parrying blows and countering their opponent’s actions with expert ripostes.
\nSurgical Strike: A duelist makes surgical strikes with one-handed piercing weapons with a Min Str of d6 or less, adding +2 to her damage total.
\nParry: If the duelist hasn’t acted this turn, she may declare the Defend maneuver after an opponent declares a Fighting attack against her but before he rolls. She discards her current Action Card and her Parry bonus is +6 instead of +4 that turn.
\nSome take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
\nLords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
\nThese skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them.
\nOnce per round, as long as he’s not @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Shaken} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Stunned}, the hero gets a free Fighting attack against a foe immediately after he moves into @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Reach}. (See Free Attacks @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{here}).
\nThe character has trained to fight alongside others, overwhelming their common foe with synchronized strikes and blows. She increases the Gang Up bonus by an additional +1 for herself and her allies. The maximum Gang Up bonus is still +4 no matter how many Formation Fighters stand together.
\nA character with Frenzy rolls a second Fighting die with any one of his standard Fighting attacks for the turn (extra dice from Frenzy cannot be added to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{limited actions}). The extra die may be allocated to the same or different targets as he sees fit. Resolve each separately.
\nThe hero knows one unique weapon (Excalibur, Old Betsy, Sting) like the back of his hand. When using it, he adds +1 to his @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} (throwing), @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Fighting]{Fighting}, or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Shooting]{Shooting} rolls, and +1 to Parry when readied (even if it’s a ranged weapon).
\nA fighter can take this Edge multiple times, applying it to a different weapon each time. If a Trademark Weapon is lost, he can replace it but the benefits don’t kick in for a few days (however long the GM feels is dramatically appropriate).
\n+1 AP. Masterwork melee and ranged weapons add 300 gp to the cost.

\nBolts for all types of crossbows. A \"case\" of five can be purchased for repeating crossbows for +10 gp, weighing 1 lb.
\nArmor and shields reduce the Minimum Strength requirement by one die type, to a minimum of d4.
\nShields cost an extra 300 gp, while armor costs an extra 150 gp per piece.

\nUnknown forces drove the gnomes from that realm long ago, forcing them to seek refuge in this world. Despite this, the gnomes have never completely abandoned their fey roots. They are often regarded by other peoples as strange and unpredictable; as a result, gnomes sometimes have difficulty interacting with others even though they bear no particular animosity to anyone.
\nGnomes are small; they rarely exceed three feet tall. Their hair tends towards vibrant colors from the fiery orange of autumn leaves to the deep purple of wildflowers. Their facial features vary, although many have large mouths and eyes. Whimsical people, gnomes are known as tricksters who prefer action to inaction.
\nLanguages: Common, Gnome, and Sylvan.
\nAge Range: Adult 45, old age 150, max age 200-500.
\nGnome Males: Height 3'2-3'8 and weight 37-43 (Average 3'5\" , 40 lbs).
\nGnome Females: Height 3'-3'6\" and weight 32-38 (Average 3'3\", 35 lbs).
\nBiped creatures, with a human-like head, torso and limbs. Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nScions of magical bloodlines, pawns of fate and destiny, or simply flukes of fickle magic, sorcerers look within themselves for arcane prowess. As they tap into powers few mortals can imagine, these magic-touched souls must learn to harness the power of their birthright.
\nWhile some seek to control their abilities, others give in to their magic, letting it rule their lives. Sorcerers live and breathe that which other spellcasters devote their lives to mastering. For them magic is more than a useful tool or a field of study; it is life itself.

\n\nDetect arcana allows the recipient of the power to see and\n detect all supernatural persons, objects, or effects in sight for five\n rounds. This includes @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Invisibility]{invisible} foes, enchantments on people or\n items, and so on.

This doesn’t reveal Weaknesses of unique individuals, if any.\n Those must usually be discovered through research or trial and error.\n
\n\nInvisible Creatures: Detect arcana also allows a\n character to ignore up to 4 points of penalties when attacking foes hidden\n by magical@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Light / Darkness]{darkness}, \n @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Invisibility]{invisibility}, or similar abilities (or all penalties\n with a raise).\n
\n\nConceal arcana obscures one being or item of Normal Scale or\n smaller from the detect magic ability for one hour (see\n @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000000]{Detect Magic} and the\n @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore08bestia.JournalEntryPage.08sizetable00000]{Size Table}). For larger creatures, increase the cost by the Scale Modifier (+2\n PPs for Large, +4 PPs for Huge, or +6 PPs for Gargantuan).\n
\n\n With a success, attempts to detect arcana on the being or item\n suffer a –2 penalty or –4 with a raise. If detect arcana fails, the\n character cannot see through the ruse with this casting and is not aware it\n is concealed unless presented with obvious evidence of such (for example,\n the attack of an invisible foe).\n

\nThe capricious nature of the fey runs in this sorcerer’s family. She ignores Difficult Terrain in the wilderness and has the “laughing touch.” If she successfully touches a target with her hands (see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Touch Attack}), the target is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Distracted}.
\nAcademics reflects knowledge of the arts, history, archaeology, religion, and similar fields, or the ability to find that information. If an explorer wants to research when the Imperial Calendar began or cite a line from Azvadeva Pujila, or use his linguistic expertise to decipher a dead language, this is the skill to have.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.

\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\n@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Sorcerer]{Sorcerers} and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Wizard]{wizards} use Spellcasting as their arcane skill when casting spells.

\nThe Game Master should assign penalties for particularly difficult circumstances.

A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nA miser measures worth in material possessions or wealth. If a Minor Hindrance, the character argues bitterly for more than a fair share of any loot or reward the party might come across. As a Major Hindrance, he fights over anything that seems unfair, and may even kill for it.

\nYour hero keeps a secret to protect himself or others. As a Minor Hindrance, the secret is troublesome or embarrassing but not life-threatening.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.

\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them.

Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.

\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nSome take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
\nLords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
\nThese skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them.
\nIt’s no secret people are more willing to help those they find physically attractive. Your character adds +1 to @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Performance]{Performance} and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} rolls if the target is attracted to his general type (gender, sex, species, etc.).
\nYour hero is drop-dead gorgeous. He increases his @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Performance]{Performance} and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} bonus to +2.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nSomething haunts your adventurer. Maybe the hero failed to keep a @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Vow]{Vow}. Maybe the character was defeated in an honorable fight and ordered the death of the foe anyway for some greater principle. Maybe the hero isn’t actually cowardly but once ran from a battle and left others to die.
\nAs a Minor Hindrance, the shameful circumstances aren’t generally known — it just haunts him. He might go out of his way, against all reason, not to repeat the mistake. Or he might give in to the same set of circumstances and hate himself for it.
\nAs a Major Hindrance, the ill deed is well-known — or at least known among those the hero cares about. The other player characters should be told the tale as soon as possible (preferably at character creation). If not, it should be revealed by nonplayer characters at some point, and occasionally used against the hero.
\nHonor is very important to your character. She keeps her word, doesn’t abuse or kill prisoners, and generally tries to treat others with due respect. She may have a prescribed code of conduct in line with the mores of a particular deity, cause, or social order.
\nStubborn individuals always want their way and never admit they’re wrong. Even when it’s painfully obvious they’ve made a mistake they try to justify it with half-truths and rationalizations.
\nThe Lord Mayor is a fat jovial man whose merry manner disguises a keen mind seeking to juggle the interests of a bustling city, powerful nobles and Swordlords prickly with pride.

Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.
\nAge Range: Adult 17, old age 53, max age 70-110
\nHuman Males: Height 5'-6'6 and weight 130-220 (Average 5'9\" , 175 lb).
\nHuman Females: Height 4'7\"-6'1\" and weight 95-185 (Average 5'4\", 140 lb).
\nThose who carry their weight well have the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brawny]{Brawny} Edge. Those who don’t might be Obese.

The hero may also have difficulty finding armor or clothing that fits or entering confined spaces — GM's call, but tight dungeon corridors, twisting caverns, and the like are all likely to cause the hero problems.
\nAcademics reflects knowledge of the arts, history, archaeology, religion, and similar fields, or the ability to find that information. If an explorer wants to research when the Imperial Calendar began or cite a line from Azvadeva Pujila, or use his linguistic expertise to decipher a dead language, this is the skill to have.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.

\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.

In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nThrough hard-fought experience your hero has learned to defend himself in vicious hand-to-hand combat. His Parry increases by +1 and any Gang Up bonus against him is reduced by one.
\nCommand is the basic ability to give clear instructions and support to allies in the thick of battle. Extras in Command Range add +1 to their Spirit or Vigor rolls when attempting to recover from being Shaken or Stunned, respectively.
\nWhen a character withdraws from melee, adjacent attackers get a free @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Fighting]{Fighting} attack against him (see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Withdrawing From Melee}). This is a very dangerous proposition for most, but not your wily champion. When moving away from adjacent foes, one of them (player’s choice), doesn’t get his free Fighting attack.
\nSome take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
\nLords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
\nThese skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them.
\nProfessional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads and enduring harsh conditions.

Half-elves gain the grace of their namesakes, but none of their elegant frailty. Many are well-adjusted progeny of loving unions between a @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Human]{human} and an @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Elf]{elf}, but some are shunned by one side of the family or the other. Others may even be mistreated. Hence, a half-elf understands loneliness, and knows that identity is less a product of ancestry than of life experience. As such, half-elves are often open to friendships and alliances with others, and less likely to rely on first impressions.

\nNotes: @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Reload} 1. Hand-drawn.
\nBiped creatures, with a human-like head, torso and limbs. Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nBolts for all types of crossbows. A \"case\" of five can be purchased for repeating crossbows for +10 gp, weighing 1 lb.
\nSome take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
\nLords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
\nThese skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them.
\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.
\nAge Range: Adult 17, old age 53, max age 70-110
\nHuman Males: Height 5'-6'6 and weight 130-220 (Average 5'9\" , 175 lb).
\nHuman Females: Height 4'7\"-6'1\" and weight 95-185 (Average 5'4\", 140 lb).
\nOriginally formed through a merger of seven street gangs from New Stetven and Port Ice, the Black Tears are a criminal organization of cutthroats and thieves known to dabble in kidnapping, extortion, assassination, and the sale of illicit substances.
Members are fanatically loyal and exceptionally ruthless. Each carries the group’s signature weapon (a dagger with an ebony pommel), displays a trail of three black tears tattooed under their left eye, and bears a tattooed script on their right forearm that reads “Live free or slaughter” in Draconic.
Athletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching.

\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}.

\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.

They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.

\nLife is an endless adventure for those who live by their wits. Ever just one step ahead of danger, rogues bank on their cunning, skill, and charm to bend fate to their favor. Never knowing what to expect, they tend to prepare for everything. Out of necessity, they become adept manipulators, agile acrobats, or shadowy stalkers. They are thieves and gamblers, fast talkers and diplomats, bandits and bounty hunters, or explorers and investigators.
\nAlthough many rogues favor the opportunities of towns and cities, some embrace life on the road. They wander from place to place, meeting exotic people and facing fantastic danger in pursuit of endless riches. In the end, all rogues desire to shape their fates and live life on their own terms.
\nSneak Attack: Rogues add an additional d6 to their damage when they have the Drop on their victim, or the victim is Vulnerable. This applies to Athletics (throwing), Fighting, or Shooting attacks.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nLockpicking, safecracking, picking pockets, sleight of hand, setting and disabling traps, and similar acts of misdirection, sabotage, subterfuge, and manipulation are called Thievery.
\nIf used to pick a lock, crack a safe, disable a trap, or perform a simple unopposed action, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} opens or disables the device, and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} does it in less time, without tripping alarms, or whatever else the GM feels is appropriate.
\nSleight of hand, hiding or planting an item, or picking a pocket require a simple success. If foes are actively watching the character, Thievery is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed} by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice}.
\nThe Game Master should assign penalties for particularly difficult circumstances. Picking a heavy padlock might have a −4 penalty, while hiding a dagger in bulky winter clothing might grant a +2 bonus. Failure typically means the character is spotted or it takes too much time (after which the character can try again). A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.
\nIntimidation is the art of frightening an opponent so that he backs down, reveals information, or flees.
\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}.

A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.

This is a very dangerous proposition for most, but not your wily champion. When moving away from adjacent foes, one of them (player’s choice), doesn’t get his free Fighting attack.
\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.

Their lairs typically include pets such aswinter wolves, young white dragons, and mammoths.\n
\n\n Frost giants are feared by other humanoids because of their Battle lust andhabit of taking captives. These giants survive by hunting, foraging, andraiding for supplies and slaves. They perceive other peoples purely ascommodities.\n
\n\n They prefer to ambush their prey, throwing heavy rocks from afar or startingan avalanche before engaging with their greataxes. Impervious to cold, somefrost giants wear nothing more than animal skins, although warriors oftendon chain shirts and decorative helmets of their own design.\n

It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nIntimidation is the art of frightening an opponent so that he backs down, reveals information, or flees.
\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nThere’s nothing out there your hero can’t defeat. At least that’s what she thinks. She believes she can do most anything and never wants to retreat from a challenge. She's not suicidal, but certainly takes on more than common sense dictates.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nThese fanatics will do most anything to accomplish their goals. As a Major Hindrance, Ruthless characters are willing to harm anyone who gets in the way. As a Minor Hindrance, these heroes stop short of true harm to anyone except those who directly oppose them.
\nCommand is the basic ability to give clear instructions and support to allies in the thick of battle. Extras in Command Range add +1 to their Spirit or Vigor rolls when attempting to recover from being Shaken or Stunned, respectively.
\nA simple phrase uttered by a great leader can sometimes have momentous results. A commander with this ability can inspire his troops to bloody fervor.
\nExtras in range add +1 to their Fighting damage rolls.
\nQuick characters have lightning-fast reflexes and a cool head. Whenever you are dealt an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Action Card} of Five or lower, you may discard it and draw again until you get a card higher than Five.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01makingcharac00]{Characters} with both the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Level Headed]{Level Headed} and Quick Edges first draw their additional card and choose which to take. If that card is a Five or less, the Quick Edge may be used to draw a replacement until it’s Six or higher.
\nSome heroes are able to face down multiple enemies at once.
\nAs a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{limited action}, Sweep allows a character to make a single Fighting attack with a two-handed weapon and apply it against all targets in his @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Reach} at a −2 penalty (friends and foes alike). Resolve damage separately for each enemy that’s hit.
\nNote: Some creatures have the Sweep Edge even though they don't have two handed weapons. In their case their size, lanky limbs, or other advantages allow them to make Sweep attacks.
\nTotal Quality: 2
Total Enchantment Cost: 7000
+1 AP. Masterwork melee and ranged weapons add 300 gp to the cost.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control.

\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.

\nAcademics reflects knowledge of the arts, history, archaeology, religion, and similar fields, or the ability to find that information. If an explorer wants to research when the Imperial Calendar began or cite a line from Azvadeva Pujila, or use his linguistic expertise to decipher a dead language, this is the skill to have.
\nAlchemy is a new arcane skill for the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-apg.swpf-apg-edges.N6RRQHtMqikZrbyz]{Alchemist} Class Edge.
Athletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.
\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nIt killed the cat, and it might kill your hero as well. Curious characters stick their nose in others' business and always want to know what’s behind a potential mystery or secret.
\nArrogant heroes don’t think they are the best — they know it. Whether it’s swordsmanship, oration or painting, these characters flaunt their prowess every chance they get.
\nWinning isn’t enough for this champion. She wants to dominate opponents and prove there’s no one better. Arrogant individuals look for the greatest threat in battle, taking on lesser minions only because they’re in the way.
\nRequirements: Novice, Smarts d6+
\n\n Whether secreted away in a smoky basement laboratory or gleefully experimenting in a well-respected school of magic,\n the alchemist is often regarded as being just as unstable, unpredictable, and dangerous as the concoctions he brews.\n While some creators of alchemical items content themselves with sedentary lives as merchants, providing tindertwigs\n and smokesticks, the true alchemist answers a deeper calling.\n
\n\n Rather than casting spells like a sorcerer or wizard, an alchemist captures arcane essences within strange liquids\n and extracts, infusing mysterious concoctions with spell-like abilities, combustible energy, and transformative\n mutagens.\n
\n\n Extracts are prepared \" off camera,\" requiring an hour's time, the alchemist's formulae book, and an\n @UUID[Compendium.swpf-apg.swpf-apg-gear.rJQzeMSY1H0v0017]{alchemist's kit}. The alchemist doesn't spend any @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-core-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edges000000000#power-points]{Power Points} until he activates the\n power. Without his formulae book, he may cast as usual but cannot refresh his \"supplies\" (his Power Points do not\n recharge).\n
\n\n All of the alchemist's powers except @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.mHx31ZsAeFzQiVna]{burst} and damage field with a Range greater\n than Touch must take the Touch Limitation (since extracts must be consumed or applied to be used). The Power Point\n cost is reduced as usual. The templates for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.mHx31ZsAeFzQiVna]{burst} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.7uPe9UrDU7avRRmL]{damage field} (with the Area\n of Effect modifiers) emanate from the character who imbibed the extract, but the alchemist still makes the arcane\n skill roll.\n
\n Alchemists can swiftly mix jars and vials of volatile chemicals from their alchemist's kits and turn them into hasty\n explosives.\n
\n\n Creating an alchemist's bomb and throwing it is a limited action that costs two Power Points and uses the\n Alchemy skill. Alchemical bombs have a Range of 10\" (20 yards) and cause 2d6 @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-core-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000#damage]{Damage} in\n a Small Blast Template. The alchemist can spend +1 Power Point to increase the damage to\n 3d6 and +1 Power Point to change his bomb to a Medium Blast Template.\n
\n\n An alchemist's bombs are an extension of their own personal magic and must be used instantly—they cannot be stored or\n given to others. They aren't powers, and can't use the Selective Power Modifier (although they can use\n other Power Modifiers, such as Lingering Damage)—allies must beware getting caught in the splash zone!\n
\n\n A Critical Failure when creating a bomb means the alchemist has run out of volatile chemicals and\n cannot use this ability again until he refreshes his supplies (in a shop, a few hours gathering ingredients and a\n Survival roll, etc.).\n
\nMutagens alter the alchemist's form, increasing his physique for one hour at the cost of mental impairment.
\n\n Brewing a mutagen costs an hour's work and two @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-core-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edges000000000#power-points]{Power Points}ut no arcane skill roll. The Power Points\n are stored and don't replenish until the mutagen is consumed or destroyed. An alchemist may only have one active\n mutagen in existence at a time.\n
\n\n Choose one of the three options below when the mutagen is created. Drinking it (an action) has the\n listed effect and also hardens the imbiber's skin, increasing Toughness by +1.\n

The cost to cast is equal to the sum of their @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Size} (minimum\n 1 per creature; see the creatures in @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore08bestia.JournalEntryPage.08bestiary000000]{Bestiary} for an example). Controlling\n five wolves (Size −1) costs 5 points, for example. Controlling a rhino (Size\n 5) also costs 5 points.\n
\n\n Success means the creatures obey simple commands, like a well-trained dog.\n They attack foes and endanger their lives for their master. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} on the\n arcane skill roll means the beasts are more obedient. They won’t kill\n themselves but overcome their natural fears (fire, fearful creatures, et.)\n to follow their orders.\n
\n\n Swarms can also be controlled. Small Swarms cost 1 point, Medium\n Swarms cost 2, and Large Swarms cost 3.\n
\n\nBeast friend works only on natural creatures with animal\n intelligence, not humanoids, and has no effect on conjured, magical, or\n otherwise “unnatural” animals.\n

\nMutagens alter the alchemist's form, increasing his physique for one hour at the cost of mental impairment.
Brewing a mutagen costs an hour's work and two Power Points but no arcane skill roll. The Power Points are stored and don't replenish until the mutagen is consumed or destroyed. An alchemist may only have one active mutagen in existence at a time.
Choose one of the three options below when the mutagen is created. Drinking it (an action) has the listed effect and also hardens the imbiber's skin, increasing Toughness by +1.
Strength: +2 to Strength and melee damage rolls but −2 on Academics, Common Knowledge, Occult, Repair, Science, and arcane skill rolls.
Agility: Opponents subtract 1 when making direct attacks against the alchemist. The alchemist subtracts 2 from Healing, Notice, Survival, and Taunt rolls.
Vigor: +2 to Vigor rolls but −2 to Battle, Gambling, Performance, and Persuasion rolls.

With otherworldly blood\n and traits to match, tieflings are often shunned and despised out of reactionary fear. Most tieflings never know\n their fiendish sire, as the coupling that produced their curse occurred generations earlier. The taint is\n long-lasting and persistent, often manifesting at birth or sometimes later in life, as a powerful, though often\n unwanted, boon.\n
\n\n Despite their fiendish appearance and netherworld origins, tieflings have a human’s capacity for choosing their\n fate, and while many embrace their dark heritage and side with fiendish powers, others reject their darker\n predilections. Though the power of their blood calls nearly every tiefling to fury, destruction, and wrath, even the\n spawn of a succubus can become a saint and the grandchild of a pit fiend an unsuspecting hero.\n
\n\n No two tieflings look alike; the fiendish blood running through their veins manifests inconsistently, granting them\n an array of fiendish traits. One might appear as a human with small horns, a barbed tail, and oddly colored eyes,\n while another might manifest a mouth of fangs, tiny wings, and claws, and yet another might possess the perpetual\n smell of blood, foul incenses, and brimstone. Typically, these qualities hearken back in some way to the manner of\n fiend that spawned the tiefling’s bloodline, but even then the mixture of human and fiendish blood is rarely ruled\n by sane, mortal laws, and the vast flexibility it produces in tieflings is a thing of wonder, running the gamut from\n oddly beautiful to utterly terrible.\n
\n\n Tieflings on the Material Plane rarely create their own settlements and holdings. Instead, they live on the fringes\n of the land where they were born or choose to settle. Most societies view tieflings as aberrations or curses, but in\n cultures where there are frequent interactions with summoned fiends, and especially where the worship of demons,\n devils, or other evil outsiders is legal or obligatory, tieflings might be much more populous and accepted, even\n cherished as blessings of their fiendish overlords.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/PZO9423_Saint_Tiefling.webp\")
\n\n Tieflings seldom see another of their own kind, and so usually simply adopt the culture and mannerisms of their\n human parents. On other planes, tieflings form enclaves of their own kind. Often such enclaves are less than\n harmonious—the diversity of tiefling forms and philosophies is an inherent source of conflict between them, and\n cliques and factions constantly form in an ever-shifting hierarchy where only the most opportunistic or devious gain\n advantage. Only those of common bloodlines or those who manage to divorce their worldview from the inherently\n selfish, devious, and evil nature of their birth manage to find true acceptance, camaraderie, and common ground\n among others of their kind.\n
\n\nRelations: Tieflings face a significant amount of prejudice from most other cultures, who view them\n as fiend-spawn, seeds of evil, monsters, and lingering curses placed upon the world. Far too often, civilized\n ancestries shun or marginalize them, while more monstrous ones simply fear and reject them unless forced or cowed\n into acceptance. But half-elves, half-orcs, and—most oddly—aasimars tend to view them as kindred spirits who are too\n often rejected or who don’t fit into most societies by virtue of their birth. The widespread assumption that\n tieflings are innately evil—ill-founded though it may be—prevents many from easily fitting into most cultures on the\n Material Plane except in exceedingly cosmopolitan or planar-influenced nations.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/Tiefling_Final.webp\")
\n\nReligion: Though many assume tieflings worship devils and demons, their religious views are as\n varied as their physical forms. Individual tieflings worship all manner of deities, but they are just as likely to\n shun religion all together. Those who give in to the dark whispers that haunt the psyche of all tieflings serve all\n manner of powerful fiends.\n
\n\n Tieflings rarely integrate into the mortal societies they call home. Drawn to the adventuring life as a method of\n escape, they hope to make a better life for themselves, to prove their freedom from their blood’s taint, or to\n punish a world that fears and rejects them.\n

In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}).

A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nTaunt attacks a person’s pride through ridicule, cruel jests, or oneupmanship.
\nTaunt is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Smarts}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}.
\nOut of combat, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} means the defender backs down, slinks away, or starts a fight. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might leave the victim cowed for the remainder of the encounter, cause them to storm out in tears, or even make a reckless attack.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the Taunt means the target is immune to this character’s Taunts for the remainder of the encounter.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nA @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Vow]{vow} is a commitment to others — driven characters want something for themselves. It may be to protect the realm, prove you’re the best knucklebones player in the kingdom, or the best equestrian on Golarion.
\nThe Minor version shapes the character and influences decisions but either happens rarely or is fairly harmless. As a Major Hindrance it’s an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the hero and companions.
\nScions of magical bloodlines, pawns of fate and destiny, or simply flukes of fickle magic, sorcerers look within themselves for arcane prowess. As they tap into powers few mortals can imagine, these magic-touched souls must learn to harness the power of their birthright.
\nWhile some seek to control their abilities, others give in to their magic, letting it rule their lives. Sorcerers live and breathe that which other spellcasters devote their lives to mastering. For them magic is more than a useful tool or a field of study; it is life itself.
\nElan means energy or spirit. Those who have it rise to the occasion when the going gets toughest.

A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!

\nAs a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{limited action}, Sweep allows a character to make a single Fighting attack with a two-handed weapon and apply it against all targets in his @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Reach} at a −2 penalty (friends and foes alike).

\nNote: Some creatures have the Sweep Edge even though they don't have two handed weapons. In their case their size, lanky limbs, or other advantages allow them to make Sweep attacks.
\nThe creature is susceptible to a particular type of energy or matter, such as cold, heat, electricity, cold iron, etc.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.

\nWoodsmen are rangers, scouts, and hunters who are more at home in the wilderness than urban areas. They are skilled trackers and scouts, and know how to live off the land for months at a time.
\nWoodsmen add +2 to Survival and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Stealth]{Stealth} rolls made in the wild (not towns, ruins, or underground).
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.

\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nBolts for all types of crossbows. A \"case\" of five can be purchased for repeating crossbows for +10 gp, weighing 1 lb.
\nThese are everyday highwaymen or rural bandits.
\n It’s been almost 20 years since the end of the Goblinblood Wars that scorched the Chitterwood, forcing dozens of\n tribes into hiding. Now with new threats rising up, the many tribal elders have put aside their reckless ways in the\n hope of forging alliances that give them a chance at survival. While many have stayed to protect their homelands,\n others have become refugees, with some traveling to Absalom in search of a home that might offer them sanctuary in a\n world that does not trust them.\n
\n\n Goblins are short, ugly humanoids. Their scrawny bodies are topped with oversized and usually hairless heads with\n massive ears and beady red or occasionally yellow eyes. Goblins’ skin tone varies based on the surrounding\n environment; common skin tones include green, gray, and blue, though black and even pale white goblins have been\n sighted. Their voracious appetites are served well by their huge mouths filled with jagged teeth.\n
\n\n Even those goblins who break from their destructive past often subtly perpetuate some of the qualities that have\n been tied to the creatures for millennia. Goblins tend to flock to strong leaders, fiercely protecting those\n companions who have protected them from physical harm or offered a sympathetic ear when they learn of the goblins’\n woes. Some goblins remain deeply fascinated with fire, or fearlessly devour meals that might turn others’ stomachs.\n Others are endless tinkerers and view their companions’ trash simply as components of gadgets yet to be made.\n Occasionally, fellow adventurers find these proclivities unsettling or odd, but more often than not, goblins’\n friends consider these qualities endearing.\n
\n\n Goblins reach adolescence by the age of three and adulthood four or five years later. In theory, goblins could live\n 50 years or more, but without anyone to protect them from each other or themselves, few live past 20 years of age.\n Goblins typically stand about 3 feet tall, with skin colors that range from green to gray to blue.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/Goblin_Full_Figure.webp\")
\n\nRelations: Though goblins’ culture has splintered radically, their reputation across the Inner Sea\n region has changed little. As such, goblins who travel to larger cities are frequently subjected to derision, and as\n a result many goblins work twice as hard at proving their worth. Those who befriend a goblin quickly learn that\n while a goblin’s friendship might include all manners of pranks, such fun comes from a place of true\n acceptance—something that a goblin does not give freely.\n
\nReligion: Many goblin adventurers typically worship Cayden Cailean.
\n\n Some backgrounds make for particularly good adventurers. Goblins who come from lawless tribes may seek refuge while\n entertainers may seek a living performing for audiences around the world. Many goblins consider alchemy, since they\n love fire or life as a bard, since many goblins love songs.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/Goblin_Alchemist.webp\")
\n\n Scrappy survivors often take to the role of a rogue who darts about the shadows, though their natural charismatic\n nature also draws them to the pursuit of magical power, such as that of a sorcerer or wizard.\n
\nLanguages: Common, Goblin.
\nRiding allows a hero to mount, control, and ride any beast or beast-drawn vehicle. This includes horses, camels, dragons, wagons, chariots, and the like. See the rules for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Mounted Combat}.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nYour hero believes something considered quite strange by most others. Minor Delusions are harmless or the character generally keeps it to himself (the magistrate puts sleeping powder in the water supply, dogs can talk, we’re all just characters in some bizarre game, etc.).
\nWith a Major Delusion, the hero expresses opinions on the situation frequently and it can occasionally lead to danger (all potions are deadly, armor gives me hives, zombies are my friends).
\nYour hero can't read. Perhaps he can sign his name or make his mark or recognize a single common word, but little else. He also knows very little math. He can probably figure 2 + 2 = 4, but multiplication and the like are beyond the pale.
\nStubborn individuals always want their way and never admit they’re wrong. Even when it’s painfully obvious they’ve made a mistake they try to justify it with half-truths and rationalizations.
\nLife is an endless adventure for those who live by their wits. Ever just one step ahead of danger, rogues bank on their cunning, skill, and charm to bend fate to their favor. Never knowing what to expect, they tend to prepare for everything. Out of necessity, they become adept manipulators, agile acrobats, or shadowy stalkers. They are thieves and gamblers, fast talkers and diplomats, bandits and bounty hunters, or explorers and investigators.
\nAlthough many rogues favor the opportunities of towns and cities, some embrace life on the road. They wander from place to place, meeting exotic people and facing fantastic danger in pursuit of endless riches. In the end, all rogues desire to shape their fates and live life on their own terms.
\nNot much gets by this hero. Very observant and perceptive, she adds +2 to @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} rolls to hear, see, or otherwise sense the world around them.
\nOnce per round, as long as he’s not @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Shaken} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Stunned}, the hero gets a free Fighting attack against a foe immediately after he moves into @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Reach}. (See Free Attacks @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{here}).
\nQuick characters have lightning-fast reflexes and a cool head. Whenever you are dealt an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Action Card} of Five or lower, you may discard it and draw again until you get a card higher than Five.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01makingcharac00]{Characters} with both the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Level Headed]{Level Headed} and Quick Edges first draw their additional card and choose which to take. If that card is a Five or less, the Quick Edge may be used to draw a replacement until it’s Six or higher.
\nArrows for all types of bows. 20 arrows per 3 lbs.
\nNotes: Picks and spikes, oil flasks, grease, silk rope, gloves. –2 @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Thievery]{Thievery} without them.

Athletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.
\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nIntimidation is the art of frightening an opponent so that he backs down, reveals information, or flees.
\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nThe long-lived elves are children of the natural world, superficially similar to fey creatures and yet distinct in important ways. Elves value their privacy and traditions. Although they are often slow to make friends, once an outsider is accepted as a comrade, such alliances can last for generations. Elves distrust @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Half-Orc]{half-orcs} and display a fascination with @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Human]{humans}, while remaining mostly indifferent to other peoples.
\nElves are tall, thin souls with pointed ears and deep-set eyes of various colors. Whether they hail from the deep forests or hidden valleys, elves are born more graceful than humans, though somewhat slighter. Elves are known for their patience and affinity for magic.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\n@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Sorcerer]{Sorcerers} and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Wizard]{wizards} use Spellcasting as their arcane skill when casting spells. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000001]{Chapter Five} for more information on magical powers.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nLockpicking, safecracking, picking pockets, sleight of hand, setting and disabling traps, and similar acts of misdirection, sabotage, subterfuge, and manipulation are called Thievery.
\nIf used to pick a lock, crack a safe, disable a trap, or perform a simple unopposed action, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} opens or disables the device, and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} does it in less time, without tripping alarms, or whatever else the GM feels is appropriate.
\nSleight of hand, hiding or planting an item, or picking a pocket require a simple success. If foes are actively watching the character, Thievery is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed} by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice}.
\nThe Game Master should assign penalties for particularly difficult circumstances. Picking a heavy padlock might have a −4 penalty, while hiding a dagger in bulky winter clothing might grant a +2 bonus. Failure typically means the character is spotted or it takes too much time (after which the character can try again). A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} typically sets off the trap, alerts the victim, or jams the device so that it must be opened or interacted with in a different way.
\nBeyond the veil of the mundane hide the secrets of absolute power. Mysteries, and wonders of arcane realms call to those with the ambition—and the intellect—to grasp true power. Such is the path of the wizard.
\nThese magic-users research, collect, and covet esoteric knowledge. Some choose to become a master of a particular field of magic. Others embrace versatility, reveling in the unbounded wonders of all magic. In either case, wizards prove a cunning lot, capable of smiting their foes, empowering their allies, and shaping the world to their every desire.
\nSpecialists must choose one favored school and two opposition schools from the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05schoolsofmag00]{Schools of Magic}. They gain a free @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{reroll} on arcane skill rolls to cast spells (not activating an item) from their favored school, but spells cast from their opposition school cost one additional @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Power Points]{Power Point} and suffer a −2 penalty to the wizard's arcane skill roll. Wizards mark opposition spells in their power lists with an asterisk, like this: banish*

\nSpellbooks: Wizards must keep and maintain spellbooks.
\n
@Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-gear.Spellbook, Wizard (blank)]{Link to Journal Entry}
Wizard spells are strange, complex things that fade quickly from the minds of even the most accomplished casters. For this reason, each wizard maintains a spellbook with the spells he’s translated and acquired. He studies them daily, transcribing their mystical patterns onto his mind.
\nThe link to the book is far more than rote memorization— it is an arcane bond with the power and patterns within. If a wizard doesn’t have access to his spellbook, he may continue to cast normally until the next sunset or sunrise (whichever comes first). After that, the magical imprint on his mind fades and he can no longer cast them.
\nWizards may only carry one active spellbook at a time. The mountains of scrolls, magical notations, and research needed to prepare another cannot be carried with the wizard and must be stored safely somewhere. It takes a week of work and 500 gp to create a replacement spellbook once the wizard has access to his magical notes.
\nWhen a wizard takes the New Powers Edge, he chooses any two powers as usual. If he has found any spells (including scrolls) through exploration or purchase, and it is of his Rank or less, he may take one of those as a bonus third power at that time as well
\nIt killed the cat, and it might kill your hero as well. Curious characters stick their nose in others' business and always want to know what’s behind a potential mystery or secret.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nSomeone out there hates the character and wants him ruined, locked away, or dead. The value of the Hindrance depends on how powerful the enemy is and how often they might show up. A Minor Enemy might be a lone warrior out for vengeance or a betrayed brotherhood that’s deadly but appears rarely. A Major Enemy might represent powerful authorities, a band of ruffians, or a single very powerful and relentless rival.
\nIf the enemy is one day defeated, the GM should gradually work in a replacement, or the hero may buy off the Hindrance by sacrificing an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01advancement000]{Advance}.
\nThis individual has some minor foible that is usually humorous but can occasionally cause real trouble. A swashbuckler may always try to slash a mark on foes, a dwarf may brag constantly about dwarven culture, or a snobby débutante might not eat, drink, or socialize with the lower class, for example.
\nWizards, sorcerers, and other arcane types always want more power. This Edge grants them an additional 5 Power Points. Power Points may be selected more than once, but only once per Rank. It may be taken as often as desired at Legendary Rank, but each grants only 2 additional points.

\n\nIllusion can be used to create a visual scene or replica of most\n anything the caster can imagine, but it is silent, intangible, and incapable\n of affecting the real world. For example, illusionary weapons pass through\n foes, one cannot sit in an illusionary chair, and an illusionary dog has no\n audible bark.\n

\nTrappings: A wave of the wand, sprinkling of dust, or simple magic trick.
\n\n Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell\n enables you to perform simple magical effects for one hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. A\n prestidigitation can slowly lift one pound of material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each\n round. It can chill, warm, or flavor one pound of nonliving material.\n
\n\n It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. Prestidigitation can create small objects, but\n they look crude and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are extremely fragile, and they\n cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate any\n other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only one\n hour.\n

Half-orcs exhibit characteristics of their orc forebears as well as the other branch of their family tree (usually human). They are rarely the result of loving unions, a fact which causes others to distrust and even fear them. Half-orcs are sometimes accepted by orcish communities, but are usually shunned by most others, including @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Human]{humans}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Elf]{elves}, and @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-abilities.Dwarf]{dwarves}, because of longstanding enmity with their ancestors.
\nSome half-orcs choose to live among non-orcish peoples, turning their backs on their belligerent roots and looking to redeem themselves. Many are heroic souls trying to prove themselves.
\nHalf-orcs stand between six and seven feet tall, with powerful builds. Their features are harsh and angular, like that of orcs. Their natural life-span is the same as humans, though it is rare when one dies of old age.
\nLanguages: Common and Orc.
\nAge Range: Adult 15, old age 45, max age 60-80.
\nHalf-orc Males: Height 5'-6'10 and weight 164-318 (Average 5'11\", 241 lbs).
\nHalf-orc Females: Height 4'7\"-6'5\" and weight 124-278 (Average 5'6\", 201 lbs).
\nSome creatures on Golarion possess the extraordinary ability to see without a light source. Creatures with this ability ignore penalties for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} up to 10″ (20 yards).
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nFor reasons having little or nothing to do with the character’s actions or behavior, she isn’t accepted in many societies on Golarion. Locals are likely to raise prices on the individual, ignore pleas for help, and generally treat her poorly.
\nOutsiders subtract 2 from @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} rolls made to influence those who aren’t their own kind. The Major version means most locals are @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Unfriendly} and bullies are likely to pick fights with her.
\nAthletics combines an individual’s coordination with learned skills such as climbing, jumping, balancing, wrestling, swimming, throwing, or catching. Characters who rely on physical power more than coordination can take the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Brute]{Brute} Edge to link this skill to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Strength} instead of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Agility}.
\nCharacters roll Common Knowledge to know people, places, and things of their locale, including etiquette, geography, culture, current events, contacts, and customs.
\nFighting covers all hand-to-hand (@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee}) attacks, whether it’s with fists, axes, swords, or martial arts. It reflects skill as well as raw power, savagery, and fearlessness.
\nHealing has multiple uses, from treating Wounds to diagnosing diseases and analyzing certain kinds of forensic evidence.
\nSee the rules on mending and treating @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Wounds}, and treatment of @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{disease} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{poison}.
\nHealing can also be used to analyze evidence that relates to anatomical trauma, including cause of death and approximate time, a general angle of attack, and similar matters. @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} provides basic information and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} increases the details uncovered.
\nIntimidation is the art of frightening an opponent so that he backs down, reveals information, or flees.
\nIntimidation is an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} resisted by the opponent’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. In combat, this is a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Test}. Out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} roll means the foe backs down for the most part, reveals some information, or slinks away when the opportunity presents itself. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} might mean the target backs down for the remainder of the scene, spills all the beans, or runs away as fast as possible.
\nIn or out of combat, a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} on the roll means the target is immune to this character’s Intimidation attempts for the remainder of this encounter!
\nNetworking: Intimidation can also be used as a \"macro\" skill to simulate several hours of working the streets. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking} to see how to crack some heads for favors or information.
\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.
\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t
\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nArrogant heroes don’t think they are the best — they know it. Whether it’s swordsmanship, oration or painting, these characters flaunt their prowess every chance they get.
\nWinning isn’t enough for this champion. She wants to dominate opponents and prove there’s no one better. Arrogant individuals look for the greatest threat in battle, taking on lesser minions only because they’re in the way.
\nThis curmudgeon is ill-tempered and disagreeable. He has trouble doing anything kind for anyone else, must be paid for services, and doesn’t accept awards or favors graciously. Besides the obvious roleplaying issues, Mean characters subtract 1 from @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Persuasion]{Persuasion} rolls.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nThese fanatics will do most anything to accomplish their goals. As a Major Hindrance, Ruthless characters are willing to harm anyone who gets in the way. As a Minor Hindrance, these heroes stop short of true harm to anyone except those who directly oppose them.
\nYour bruiser is very large or very fit. Her Size increases by +1 (and therefore Toughness by 1) and she treats her Strength as one die type higher when determining @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Encumbrance} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Minimum Strength} to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty.
\nBrawny can’t increase a character’s Size above +3, and it has no effect on Armor Interference or Armor Restriction.

A magus is a martial warrior who infuses their weapons with spells. They value skill with weapons, primarily, but have learned to infuse their weapons with magic enhancements.
Armor Interference (Light): A magus must move in precise patterns to use their magic. She cannot use any abilities granted by this Edge or any Edge that has this Edge as a requirement when wearing medium or heavy armor or using a medium or heavy shield.
Magus' Weapon: The Magus may hold a melee weapon while using their Spell Strike. A weapon's Reach increases the range of a Magus's Touch-limited powers.
Mystic Powers (Magus): As a limited free action, the magus can invoke any one of the following powers. @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.hBfpNdcd1WBsszu3]{Boost Trait} (Agility or Fighting only), @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.p0sK0KYfyvGFNLNt]{Deflection}, or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.LiY5yCQkOOKz9T2L]{Smite}. All are self only but the magus gains no benefit from the limitation. The magus has a dedicated pool of 10 power points that recharges normally, and may activate the power at the normal cost, or with a raise for +2pp. She may use any power modifiers that are compatible with the self limitation.
Martial Cantrip: The magus has studied enough magic to be able to use cantrip effects from any of the powers available to her Mystic Powers or Spell Strike. In addition, she gets access to the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-apg.swpf-apg-powers.ZZuTG3eeg2jCTNcH]{Minor Bolt} complex cantrip. She uses the better of her Common Knowledge or Academics when a roll is required for these effects, and may suffer backlash (and fatigue if out of power points) on a critical failure.
Spell Strike: As a limited action the magus may infuse her touch attack (with a weapon) with the effects of one of the following powers (Range touch, but gaining no cost reduction from the limitation): @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.9Tvla4tbJvLwlUQN]{Bolt}, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.IdCcc8NcVsxmNAYw]{Drain Power Points}, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.7n5Iu772YhO19ln5]{Fear}, @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.uu29DfNqynLCMkRF]{Slumber}. The Fighting roll is used as the arcane skill roll for purposes of determining raise effects. The cost for these powers comes out of the magus' Mystic Powers pool. If the Fighting roll is greater than 4 the power points are spent as if the spell went off, even if the attack doesn't make it through the opponent's Parry. Otherwise a point is spent. In the case of a critical failure, the Magus suffers a level of Fatigue. The Touch attack has no damage effect other than any imparted by the spell.
The Magus may hold a melee weapon while using their Spell Strike. A weapon's Reach increases the range of a Magus's Touch-limited powers.

\n\n Aasimars are humans with a significant amount of celestial or other good outsider blood in their ancestry. While not\n always benevolent, aasimars are more inclined toward acts of kindness rather than evil, and they gravitate toward\n faiths or organizations associated with celestials. Aasimar heritage can lie dormant for generations, only to appear\n suddenly in the child of two apparently human parents.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/PZO_9424_Faith.webp\")
\n\n Most societies interpret aasimar births as good omens, though it must be acknowledged that some aasimars take\n advantage of the reputation of their kind, brutally subverting the expectations of others with acts of terrifying\n cruelty or abject venality. “It’s always the one you least suspect” is the axiom these evil aasimars live by, and\n they often lead double lives as upstanding citizens or false heroes, keeping their corruption well hidden.\n Thankfully, these few are the exception and not the rule.\n
\n\n Aasimars look mostly human except for some minor physical trait that reveals their unusual heritage. Typical aasimar\n features include hair that shines like metal, jewel-toned eyes, lustrous skin color, or even glowing, golden halos.\n
\n\n Aasimars cannot truly be said to have an independent society of their own. As an offshoot of humanity, they adopt\n the societal norms around them, though most find themselves drawn to those elements of society that work for the\n redress of injustice and the assuagement of suffering. This sometimes puts them on the wrong side of the law in more\n tyrannical societies, but aasimars can be careful and cunning when necessary, able to put on a dissembling guise to\n divert the attention of oppressors elsewhere.\n
\n\n While corrupt aasimars may be loners or establish secret societies to conceal their involvement in crime, righteous\n aasimars are often found congregating in numbers as part of good organizations, especially (though not always)\n churches and religious orders.\n
\n\nRelations: It is unclear why the touch of the celestial is felt so much more strongly in humanity\n than in those of a different heritage, though it may be that humanity’s inherent adaptability and affinity for\n change is responsible for the evolution of aasimars.\n
\n\n Perhaps the endemic traits of other ancestries are too deeply bred, too strongly present, and too resistant to\n change. Whatever dalliances non-humans may have had with the denizens of the upper planes, the progeny of such\n couplings are vanishingly rare and have never bred true.\n
\n\n Even if they generally tend toward human societies, aasimars can become comfortable in virtually any environment.\n They have an easy social grace and are disarmingly personable. They get on well with half-elves, who share a similar\n not-quite-human marginal status, though their relations are often less cordial with half-orcs, who have no patience\n for aasimars’ overly pretty words and faces.\n
\n\n Elven courtiers sometimes dismiss aasimars as unsophisticated, and criticize them for relying on natural charm to\n overcome faux pas. Perhaps of all the known ancestries, gnomes find aasimars most fascinating, and have an intense\n appreciation for their varied appearances as well as the mystique surrounding their celestial heritage.\n
\n![](\"modules/swpf-apg/assets/art/Aasimar_Finish2.webp\")
\n\nReligion: For the most part, aasimars favor deities of honor, valor, protection, healing, and\n refuge, or simple and prosaic faiths of home, community, and family. Some also follow the paths of art, music, and\n lore, finding truth and wisdom in beauty and learning.\n
\n\n Aasimars frequently become adventurers, as they often don't quite feel at home in human society and feel the pull of\n some greater destiny.\n
\nLanguages: Common, Celestial.

\nNotice is a hero’s general awareness and alertness. It’s used to sense sights, sounds, tastes, and smells, spot clues, detect ambushes, spot hidden weapons on a foe, or tell if a rival is lying, frightened, happy, etc.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} conveys basic information— the character hears movement in the forest, smells distant smoke, or senses someone isn’t being completely truthful.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} grants more detail, such as the direction of a sound or odor or what topic a person is avoiding or lying about.
\nOccult reflects knowledge and experience of magical and supernatural events, processes, items, and creatures.
\nIt can be used to decipher glyphs, recall information about Golarion's monsters, recall cures for supernatural maladies like lycanthropy or vampirism, and so on.
\nFinding information in a library, a wizard’s lair, or in an old dusty tome uses the Academics skill. If the investigator’s Occult skill is higher, she may use that instead. See @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Academics]{Academics}.
\nSome esoteric information will be familiar to people with certain skills. If the situation warrants (and with the GM's permission), you may substitute @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} or @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Spellcasting]{Spellcasting} in place of Occult.

\nPersuasion is the ability to convince others to do what you want through reason, cajoling, deception, rewards, or other friendly means. Persuasion isn’t mind control. It can change someone’s attitude but not their goals. A bandit may let you keep a sentimental piece of jewelry with a good Persuasion roll but still takes all your other goods.
\nWhen used to @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Support} allies it’s an unopposed roll. If the target is resistant, it’s an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{opposed roll} vs. the target’s @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01traitsummari00]{Spirit}. The GM should modify the roll as appropriate based on roleplaying, any pertinent @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01edgesummarie00]{Edges} or @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore01charac.JournalEntryPage.01hindrancesum00]{Hindrances} that affect the conversation, and the circumstances.
\nReaction Level: How much a person is willing to cooperate depends largely on their attitude toward whoever’s talking to them. The Game Master can decide how nonplayer characters feel based on the setting, or roll on the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-tables.Reaction]{Reaction Table} (see sidebar) when having no preconceived notions.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Success} improves the target’s attitude one level and a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise} improves it two. Further increases aren’t generally possible in the same encounter— it takes individuals a little time to adjust their biases.
\nFailure means the target won’t change his mind this encounter or until the situation changes in some important way. A @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Critical Failure} also reduces the target’s attitude two levels.
\nOnly one roll should generally be allowed per interaction unless new information is revealed, a substantial reward is offered, etc.
\nNetworking: Characters can also use Persuasion as a \"macro skill,\" simulating a few hours or an evening’s time hobnobbing and socializing to gain favors or information. See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04networking0000]{Networking}.
\nShooting covers all attempts to hit a target with a ranged weapon such as a bow or crossbow (thrown weapons use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Athletics]{Athletics}). See @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Chapter Three} for details on ranged combat.
\nStealth is the ability to hide and move quietly. A simple @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{success} on a Stealth roll means the character avoids detection if enemies aren’t particularly alert. If the character fails the roll, the enemy realizes something is amiss and begins actively searching for whatever roused them.
\nOnce foes are alerted and active, Stealth is opposed by @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Notice]{Notice} (a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{group roll} if there are many foes).
\nThe GM should apply any circumstantial penalties to Notice rolls for darkness, cover, noise, distractions, and any difference in the target’s Scale (just like when attacking, see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Scale}). Sneaking through dry leaves might subtract 2 from the Stealth roll, for example, while spotting someone in the dark uses the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Illumination} penalty. Don’t apply the same modifier to both rolls, however. If Stealth is at −2 for the leaves, don’t give Notice a +2 for them as well.
\nAttacking from Stealth: Sneaking up close enough to make a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{melee} attack always requires an opposed Stealth roll versus the target’s Notice, whether the guard is actively looking for trouble or not.
\nIf @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful}, the attacker is considered on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Hold} and the victim is @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Vulnerable} to him (but not others) until the attacker’s turn ends (not the defender’s in this case). With a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}, the attacker has @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{The Drop} instead.
\nBefore the attacker strikes, the defender and any other beings on his side must check for @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00]{Surprise}. The attacker may come off Hold and resolve his strike; then the rest of the round progresses normally.
\n@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Movement}: In combat, characters roll Stealth each turn as a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{free action} at the end of their move or any action the GM thinks might draw attention.
\nOut of combat, the distance moved depends entirely on the situation. The GM might want a roll every minute if the group is sneaking around the perimeter of a defensive position, or every few miles if they’re trying to quietly walk through a dark forest without alerting the creatures that live there.
\nSurvival allows a character to find food, water, or shelter in hostile environments. It can also be used to navigate wilderness environments, figure out which plants are good to eat and which aren’t, and so on.
\nA @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{successful} Survival roll provides enough food and water for one person for one day; or five people with a @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{raise}.
\nMore detailed information on @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hunger} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Thirst} can be found under @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}.
\nTracking: Survival can also be used to detect and follow tracks. Each roll generally covers following the tracks for one mile, but the GM should adjust this as needed for specific circumstances. A character moves at half@UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03rules000000000]{Pace} and cannot run while tracking a foe.
\nThe Game Master should assign a bonus or penalty based on the target, environment, and time. Tracking a large group that recently passed through a snow-covered area might grant a bonus of +4, while following a single person over rocks and streams after more than a day incurs a −4 penalty.
\nThese planners personify restraint and carefulness. They never make rash decisions, preferring to plot things out in detail long before any action is taken.
\n(MINOR OR MAJOR)
\nA @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-hindrances.Vow]{vow} is a commitment to others — driven characters want something for themselves. It may be to protect the realm, prove you’re the best knucklebones player in the kingdom, or the best equestrian on Golarion.
\nThe Minor version shapes the character and influences decisions but either happens rarely or is fairly harmless. As a Major Hindrance it’s an overriding desire that comes up frequently or causes peril for the hero and companions.
\nYour milquetoast just isn’t threatening. Maybe the hero is a little doughy around the middle, has a kind face, or a soft voice. Whatever the issue, the character subtracts 2 when making @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Intimidation]{Intimidation} rolls.
\nThis individual has some minor foible that is usually humorous but can occasionally cause real trouble. A swashbuckler may always try to slash a mark on foes, a dwarf may brag constantly about dwarven culture, or a snobby débutante might not eat, drink, or socialize with the lower class, for example.
\nIn faith and the miracles of the divine, many find a greater purpose. Called to serve powers beyond most mortal understanding, all priests provide for the spiritual needs of their people. More than mere preachers, clerics serve as emissaries of their gods.
\nWhile clerics of different faiths share similar abilities, they are as different from one another as the divinities they serve. Some offer healing and redemption, others judge law and truth, and still others spread conflict and corruption.
\nArcane Background (Cleric): Clerics use @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-skills.Faith]{Faith} as their arcane skill. On taking this Edge, a character gains 10 Power Points and must choose a Domain for the deity she serves from the list below. All clerics start with the @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Healing]{healing} power and two other powers from their available powers.
\nAvailable Powers: Clerics have access to powers from the list below plus the powers listed for their chosen Domain: @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Banish]{banish}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Boost/Lower Trait]{boost/lower trait}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Conjure Item]{conjure item}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Darksight]{darksight}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Dispel]{dispel}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Divination]{divination}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Empathy]{empathy}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Healing]{healing}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Light / Darkness]{light/darkness}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Relief]{relief}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Resurrection]{resurrection}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Sanctuary]{sanctuary}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Slumber]{slumber}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Smite]{smite}, @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Sound/Silence]{sound/silence}.

\nThis spacious hall has been prepared for a great feast. Servants hustle and bustle about, while several armed soldiers—Lady Jamandi’s house guards—watch over the hall from their positions against the east and west walls. To the north, a fire crackles away in a large fireplace. An iron lever secured by a lock adorns the fireplace’s eastern face. Two massive crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling twenty feet above. The walls are decorated with painted murals of idyllic woodland scenes: nymphs frolicking amid waterfalls, satyrs dancing with fawns in wooded glades, and various winged fairy creatures flitting through the trees. Nine long tables are arranged around the central portion of the room, each holding plates, utensils, mugs, goblets, and full, ready-to-be-poured pitchers of ale, wine, mead, and water. The smell of roasted meat and other delicious scents fill the room, yet no food has yet been served.

A decorative brass brazier forged to resemble a sleeping red dragon sits in one corner.
Shortly after 3 a.m., the PCs are alerted to danger by the cry of the lone house guard stationed in the east foyer (area A2) as he’s murdered by a trio of Black Tears cutthroats. The Black Tears spend a few rounds quietly dragging his body out of sight and doing a few quick patrols to ensure no other guards lie in wait. The PCs have about 1 minute (enough time to don light armor, but not medium or heavy armor) to prepare before three Black Tears cutthroats attempt to quietly enter the room and attack them, using Stealth to roll initiative.
If the PCs open the door to their room and step out into area A2 before the cutthroats are ready to sneak in, the PCs can roll Perception or Stealth to determine initiative; in this case, the cutthroats roll Perception for initiative. Once the fight begins, they fight to the death. During this encounter, describe the sounds of battle raging in nearby rooms as other Black Tears make short work of other invited guests.
@Actor[7cq9SrcIJLCIhXL0]{Black Tear Cutthroat} (3)
These were low-level adventurers and, unlike the PCs, most of them didn’t come to the feast fully outfitted in their adventuring gear. Nonetheless, many of these rooms still hold items of value missed by the Black Tears that the PCs can discover by succeeding at a Notice check to search the room.
Area A3a (north west): There are five corpses in this room (two male humans, two female dwarves, and a male halfling). A minor healing potion is tucked under the halfling’s pillow.
Area A3b (north central): There are no bodies in this room, although two of the beds are soaked with blood and a severed human hand lies in the middle of the floor. The adventurers housed here were killed in their sleep and their corpses were carried to area A6 by the ogre, Gromog. A longsword and a tanglefoot bag were kicked under one bed and went unnoticed.
Area A3c (south west): This room is currently empty, though the beds show signs of having been slept in. Amiri, Harrim, Linzi, and Valerie were assigned to this room. They were alerted by one of Lady Jamandi’s guards shortly after the Black Tears initiated their assault. Unused to working together, the four quickly separated and went their separate ways to the east (more information on their respective fates can be found in the descriptions of areas A6 and A12).
Area A3d (south central): This room is currently empty, but fresh bloodstains hint at recent violence. This room was used by some of the guards, whose corpses now decorate Gromog’s altar in area A6.
Area A3e (south east): There are five corpses here (two female humans, a male human, a male dwarf, and a male elf). The elf wears a silver ring worth 15 gp.
This large hall has a polished marble floor. Several potted plants line the walls and tapestries depicting woodland hunting scenes adorn the east wall.
The moment a PC exits their guest chamber, a shuddering, grinding sound echoes through the manor. This sound is followed by a series of reverberating booms as the manor’s interior portcullises are all lowered, sealing off the upper floors from invaders—but also sealing the PCs into the ground floor with them!
When the PCs exit their room during or after the ambush, they automatically notice a body to the east. This was the guard who escorted the PCs to their room. He now lies dead in a pool of his own blood near one of the windows.
Areas A2a and A2b are guard posts. If any PCs chose to remain outside, the portcullis to area A2a is jammed open, allowing them into the building—once all the are inside, the portcullis should drop down alarmingly, just in time to lock everyone in. The portcullises are iron bars, Hardness 12 (see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.JournalEntry.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03situationalr00#breaking-things]{Breaking Things}).
Another portcullis bars entrance into area A2c, which houses a spiral staircase up to the manor’s upper floors and down to its basement. These areas are beyond the scope of this adventure, but feel free to expand on them as you see fit if you want to allow the PCs to explore further.
As they tear through the manor’s defenses, the Black Tears don’t loot the guards they slaughter, allowing the PCs to scavenge the dead bodies for supplies. Each guard wears chainmail armor and carries a longsword, dagger, and light crossbow with 1d4+6 bolts. In addition, each guard has a clearly labeled minor healing potion, but there’s a chance they might have gulped it down before they were slain; there is an 80% chance any particular guard was taken down before getting a chance to gulp his healing potion.
A portcullis has dropped down to protect this staircase.

Lush plants and flowering vines hang from the walls, while a slow-moving stream of water cuts through the center of the room, flowing languidly from north to south through stone drains. Planters filled with colorful flowers line the stream. Two narrow wooden bridges arch over the water, allowing passage from one side to the other. Partially submerged in the stream to the north stands a life-sized marble statue depicting an armored half-elf woman holding a rose and wielding a shield.
Several years ago, Lady Jamandi saved the life of a well-connected Nexian wizard who was spending some time in Rostland on vacation only to be ambushed by bandits. Before she departed for her distant homeland, the grateful wizard created this magical water garden for Lady Jamandi as a token of friendship and gratitude. Though the room has no windows, the 15-foot high ceiling is enchanted to simulate the day-night cycle found in the Mwangi Expanse. Additionally, a soft breeze constantly ripples through the chamber, keeping the air circulating and clean; each afternoon, a gentle rain keeps the garden’s plants healthy and lush.
The placid stream cutting through the center of the room bears a teleportation effect that causes its waters to flow in a continuous loop. When the water (or any other non-living item in it) comes into contact with the south wall, it’s instantly rerouted to the north wall and purified, where it continues to flow south uninterrupted. The stream is 5 feet deep, and the current is slow enough that it requires only a Athletics check to Swim. While Identifying the powerful teleportation effect requires a Occult or Nature check at -2, a successful Common Knowledge check allows a character to remember hearing the story of the garden.
The statue is of Milani, Lady Jamandi’s patron deity (Occult +0 or Common Knowledge -2). The statue stands atop a small stone shelf, so the water flows level with the statue’s knees.
Four Black Tear Cuttthroats have taken up positions on the west side of the chamber, where they wait with hand crossbows at the ready. One of the cutthroats carries a vial of lesser alchemist’s fire, which she throws at the PCs on the first round of combat.
Anyone investigating the statue’s stone shelf can attempt a Notice check to notice a watertight compartment below the waterline. The stone lid of the submerged compartment slides easily into the wall to reveal several clearly labeled potions Lady Jamandi stashed here for emergencies: four minor healing potions, a barkskin potion, and a lesser potion of fire resistance. A small bronze key sits in the compartment as well—a backup key for the trunk in the @UUID[JournalEntry.mbjYUSXjbZVylHcC.JournalEntryPage.7zZSniTMl8bUjQKK]{Secondary Treasury}. (@Tile[Tile.7ZimCgUbGOZkYqeY]{Activate Statue Pile})
This hallway goes through the central section of the east wing
The bloodied corpses of six guards and three people wearing black cloaks litter the floor of this wide hallway.
The manor's library is modestly-sized
This modest-sized library lies in ruins. Bookshelves along the east and west walls have been emptied; books lie heaped into a pile in the northeast corner. Set atop this heap are the severed arms, legs, and heads of a dozen guards and would-be heroes. A blood-spattered padded chair sits next to a shuttered window.
Lady Jamandi occasionally uses this room to read and relax when she’s not practicing swordplay or attending to the business of managing her various intrigues. The room has been recently converted into an altar of gore and depravity by Gromog, an ogre mercenary.
The secret door connecting this room with area A7 can be discovered with a successful Notice -2 check.
Creatures: @Actor[SXJgxWws59dcTk51]{Gromog} isn’t officially a member of the Black Tears. He was hired by the gang to join their assault on Lady Jamandi’s manor when they encountered him in the wilds north of Restov. The filthy furs he wears are lice-ridden and keep him constantly itching and scratching. Gromog was severely hurt in the assault and bears many fresh wounds, including a crossbow bolt embedded in the small of his back that he’s been unable to remove. More significantly, Gromog has been blinded by his prisoner, the halfling bard Linzi.
@Actor[hTpsFjpE4RCYTAnO]{Linzi} is currently cowering behind the padded chair on the slanted northwest wall. After she slashed at the ogre’s eyes with a lucky strike of her longsword, she’s been hiding here and hoping for a chance to bolt for the exit, but so far, the blind ogre’s thrashing hasn’t given her the opportunity. She knows if she says anything, Gromog will know where she is, but as soon as the PCs enter, she cries out for help. At your option, if you’re using the Kingmaker Companion Guide, Linzi scurries out to help in the fight; otherwise, she uses a single action each turn to cast inspire courage to bolster the PCs in the battle.
Gromog’s reduced stats below represent him in his current state—blinded, wounded, and itchy from the lice. He will lose his nerve when he senses other combatants. If cornered, he fights to the death.
This small, windowless room contains a large, wooden trunk secured with a formidable-looking padlock.
Lady Jamandi uses this room as a backup treasury (her primary treasury is located on the manor’s currently inaccessible second floor). The trunk is locked (Thievery -1 to Pick the Lock); the key from the water garden unlocks it.
The two secret doors connecting this room with the Library and the storage room are plainly obvious from within this chamber.
Inside the trunk are eight small cloth bags, each holding 100 gp (these presorted coins are used to pay Lady Jamandi’s guards and servants), two lesser healing potions, an Accruate mace, and a Damaging longsword. A small leather-bound journal at the bottom of the trunk contains the names of all Lady Jamandi’s servants and guards, along with the dates on which they receive their monthly pay.
If the PCs loot this room, word reaches [[Jamandi Aldori|Lady Jamandi]] several hours after the Black Tears are defeated. She eventually questions them about it, and if the PCs admit they took the treasure and return the gold and magic items, she thanks them for their honesty. In this case, she reclaims the gold but allows them to keep any remaining potions and the magic weapons as a token of appreciation. If the PCs Lie or otherwise claim ignorance of looting her treasury, they’ll need to succeed at a Persuasion -4 contest vs her Spirit to make her think a Black Tears cutthroat stole the treasure and managed to escape with it. In the likely event this check fails, or if she or her servants witness the PCs using the longsword or mace, she’s obviously disappointed but allows the theft of the weapons to go unpunished, demanding only the return of the gold so she can continue to pay her guards and servants. If the PCs outright refuse, Lady Jamandi grows angry, but ultimately cedes the treasure to them as a show of good faith—they were, after all, attacked while under her roof. At the GM’s discretion, Lady Jamandi might try to recoup her losses later in the campaign by demanding a temporary tariff on goods once the PCs finally establish their own kingdom in the Stolen Lands, but she’s more likely to just shrug and write off the loss as a cost of doing business with adventurers.
This storage room holds items necessary for running the estate, including extra oil lamps, bed linens, candles, common tools, and crates of supplies.
The secret door to the secondary treasury can be discovered by succeeding at a Notice -2 check.
Any piece of common adventuring gear can be found here at the GM’s discretion. Three full barrels of lamp oil can be found here as well (each barrel holds 248 pints of lamp oil). Feel free to add a few lesser healing potions into storage here if the PCs could use a bit of healing in order to keep going.
This large room contains two rows of simple beds along the slanted southeast wall. At the foot of each bed sits a small wooden chest. A sturdy oak table and six chairs sit against the northeast wall.
The chest lids all stand ajar and the contents—mostly clothes and personal items—lie scattered about the floor.
This room houses Lady Jamandi’s male servants. There are 14 beds here, five of which still hold the bloody corpses of servants murdered in their sleep.
Treasure: A PC who Searches the clothes and personal items scattered about the floor and succeeds at a Notice -1 check locates a thin silver necklace with a heart-shaped charm worth 10 gp inside the pocket of a pair of trousers.
This small room is comfortably furnished with a bed, rocking chair, and small side table with three chairs.
An overturned wooden chest lies in the middle of the room amid a tangle of discarded clothing and personal items.
Lady Jamandi’s head cook, Tirzendi, a Varisian chef who once served the former king of Korvosa, lives here. When the attack began, Tirzendi was lucky enough to escape to the Great Hall, where he’s currently cowering along with many of Lady Jamandi’s other surviving servants (more details are included in Part 3 on page 32).
Treasure: Although the Black Tears looted most of Tirzendi’s valuables, Searching the clutter and succeeding at a Notice -1 check locates a small leather pouch holding 6 gp and 23 sp tucked into a shoe. If the PCs offer to return this to Tirzendi, he gratefully thanks them but offers to let them keep it as a reward.
This oddly shaped scullery contains two sturdy tables for prepping food, a large tin washbasin for cleaning dishes and laundering clothes, a hefty wooden bucket for hauling water, and many shelves containing goblets, plates, dishes, and eating utensils.
Though the fragile-looking dishes and glassware remain miraculously undamaged, many bloody corpses lay piled in the middle of the room.
Floor-to-ceiling shelves cover the walls of this well-stocked pantry. The shelves contain various salted meats, loaves of bread, sacks of grain and flour, and an assortment of potatoes and vegetables. Twelve barrels sit against the west wall.

The large city of Restov is the cultural center of southern @JournalEntry[TAhrTQdTpHALFVTc]{Brevoy} and the birthplace of the world-famous Aldori dueling style. Restov owes its allegiance to the Brevic crown, and its lord-mayor must bend his knee before the Dragonscale Throne like any lord, but otherwise Restov belongs to no house, making it a haven for independents like the Aldori swordlords and those who long for the old days before the region was under Brevic rule. While many of those in power in Restov have their city’s best interests at heart and are individually kind-hearted, the value they put on individuality and personal freedom makes Restov as a whole less concerned with what’s best for the rest of Brevoy.
Restov is a city of both refined tradition and rough-and-tumble manners, as only a colony fondly recalling and imitating its motherland can be. Its location on Brevoy’s southern border makes it a bustling trade center, so its relative wealth can support no small number of idle and titled nobles and merchant guilds. Citizens frequent various Aldori and Taldan dueling schools, as well as alehouses, and fight each other in street corner duels at dawn and dusk. The schools, salons, and taprooms of Restov are hotbeds of rebellious talk against the reign of King Noleski Surtova, with young firebrands in search of a leader to rally them to the cause.

Restov is the most sizable and significant settlement in Rostland, but otherwise the landscape consists of sparsely populated farmlands. A single road runs along the country’s southern border; banditry here remains relatively light.
Brevoy is a relatively young nation, having only existed since 4499 AR. The history of Brevoy before this time is the history of two often-warring nations: Issia and Rostland. The coming of Choral the Conqueror changed all this.
After securing the defeat and surrender of the two nations, Choral christened his family @UUID[JournalEntry.8vrkz4REJ0LH8afe.JournalEntryPage.utNhdbH5JsxtwvzP]{House Rogarvia}. Choral only ruled his new land for a decade before disappearing, leaving his descendants to rule, and using the threat of the conqueror's return and his fearsome dragon allies to maintain their power. The dragons seemingly disappeared after Brevoy's creation, but they returned once to lay siege to Skywatch, an observatory-cum-fortress held by those still loyal to Rostland.
The Rogarvians' rule ended with the mysterious disappearance of every member of House Rogarvia in 4699 AR (an event known as the Vanishing), leaving Brevoy's noble families to pick up the pieces and fall back into their centuries-old disagreements. Eventually @UUID[JournalEntry.8vrkz4REJ0LH8afe.JournalEntryPage.Uq5mAWrbyYafaO6J]{House Surtova} gained the upper hand and Noleski Surtova rules fragile Brevoy today.

Greetings Hero,
We have an opportunity for you and others of a similar inclination to obtain great reward for, we will not lie, an equally perilous risk.
The city of Restov, being the trade center closest to the part of the River Kingdoms called \"The Stolen Lands\", wishes to secure our southern borders and those of Brevoy as a whole, with a friendly kingdom in place of absolute anarchy and lawlessness. To that end, we are proposing to fund expeditions into the Stolen Lands with the intent of bringing the rule of law to our southern neighbors.
For more details, please join us in a feast at Aldori Manor, Restov, on the evening of 23 Calistril, 4710. Plan to leave shortly thereafter on a first expedition into the Stolen Lands, should you accept our offer and charter.
Inscribed by High Priest Ezvanki Keegh, Erastil, may he bless this endeavor

Choral united Rostland and Issia into the kingdom of Brevoy after invading from Iobaria, accompanied by dragons. Most members of the House, including King Urzen Rogarvia, disappeared mysteriously in 4699 AR, in an event called the \"Vanishing\". Their loss is not greatly mourned by the Brevic people and loyalists are calling for an investigation instead of blind allegiance to Noleski Surtova, who declared himself king.
The House built the Ruby Fortress in New Stetven on the shores of Lake Reykal as their stronghold. The Rogarvians were known to be ruthless rulers who did their best to hold Brevoy's disparate houses and factions together.
A two-headed red dragon is the family's crest. One head of the dragon breathes fire while the other wields a sword. The house motto is \"With Sword and Flame.\"
There are many rumors relating to the House's sudden disappearance. Some of the most popular are that Choral the Conqueror was a dragon, and as such his blood was cursed. Eventually that blood consumed and destroyed all of his descendants. Another posits that House Rogarvia's founder pledged his descendants' blood in return for his conquest. A more outlandish rumor claims that the observatory at Skywatch has detected an incoming object which could cause another Earthfall, and because of this, House Rogarvia fled to avoid the disaster. A final rumor is that the Vanishing is a sign that Choral's return is imminent.

Their original holdings are the environs of Port Ice in northern Issia on the shores of the Lake of Mists and Veils. Their claim to the throne is linked to Nikos Surtova giving the hand of his daughter, Myrna Surtova, to Choral the Conqueror in marriage. This marriage allowed the house to keep its power as a staunch ally of House Rogarvia. In 4699 AR, during the Vanishing, House Surtova was able to use its high position to immediately claim regency until the Rogarvia's returned.
The Surtovans are known as careful and cunning diplomats. Before Choral the Conqueror invaded, the Surtovans were pirates and raiders, and the family still has many connections with the pirates and brigands of the region, many of whom are distant relations of the Surtova clan. One of the more active pirates of the Lake of Mists and Veils, Captain Vali Dobos, is rumoured to have a close connection with the Surtovas, although he keeps his lineage hidden.
The Surtova family motto is \"Ours Is the Right,\" which likely reflects their belief in a right to rulership of Brevoy since their family formerly ruled Issia as a group of crafty pirate-kings. Their heraldric crest is a gray ship in front of fields of blue on the lower half, and black with silver stars on the upper half.
King Noleski currently rules in New Stetven, but the family's traditional holdings are farther north at Port Ice, on the shore of the Lake of Mists and Veils.

Bolts for all types of crossbows. A \"case\" of five can be purchased for repeating crossbows for +10 gp, weighing 1 lb.
\nSee power: @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Healing]{Healing}
\nPotions are alchemical concoctions enchanted with arcane energies. Drinking the potion (an action) activates the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000001]{power} contained within immediately. Each potion can only contain one power, and each potion contains only one dose.
\nAn individual can only benefit from one potion per round. If given more than one, roll randomly to see which one takes effect—all others are wasted.
\nA potion can be administered to an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Incapacitated} or unconscious person (as an action).
\nCraft: The crafting cost of a minor potion is equal to its @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000001]{power’s} Rank × the number of @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Power Points]{Power Points} it uses; then multiply that total by 25 gp. A major potion doubles the final result (For example, a potion of minor healing without any modifiers is Novice (1) × 3 power point × 25 gp = 75 gp). A potion's market price is double their cost to craft

\nProfessional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads and enduring harsh conditions. After a few days getting used to their gear (GM’s call), they treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Encumbrance} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Minimum Strength} to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty. (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.)
\nThey also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}).
\nThis Edge has no effect on Armor Interference or Armor Restriction.

\nBiped creatures, with a human-like head, torso and limbs. Humanoids usually possess language and form cultures.
\nBolts for all types of crossbows. A \"case\" of five can be purchased for repeating crossbows for +10 gp, weighing 1 lb.
\nSome take up arms for glory, wealth, or revenge. Others do battle to prove themselves, to protect others, or because they know nothing else. Still others learn the ways of weaponcraft to hone their bodies in battle and prove their mettle in the forge of war.
\nLords of the battlefield, fighters are a disparate lot. Some train with many weapons; some prefer just one. Whatever their tactics, fighters excel at combat. They protect their own and defeat their enemies, rarely shying away from battle. They often lead the charge, a role they relish even if they don’t insist on it.
\nThese skilled warriors turn hunks of metal into arms capable of taming kingdoms, slaughtering monsters, and rousing the hearts of armies. Woe to those who dare stand against them.
\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.
\nAge Range: Adult 17, old age 53, max age 70-110
\nHuman Males: Height 5'-6'6 and weight 130-220 (Average 5'9\" , 175 lb).
\nHuman Females: Height 4'7\"-6'1\" and weight 95-185 (Average 5'4\", 140 lb).

\nYour hero never takes prisoners unless under the direct supervision of a superior. This cold-blooded ruthlessness causes enemies to respond in kind, which often costs vital information, creates constant enemies, and may get the hero (and companions) in trouble with superiors or the authorities.
\nHumans possess exceptional drive and ambition. They demonstrate a great capacity to endure hardships, as well as a penchant for expanding their territories. Humanity is often characterized by its tumultuousness and diversity; cultures range from small, nomadic tribes to peaceful agrarian villages and vast cosmopolitan (even decadent) cities and kingdoms.
\nThe physical characteristics of humans are as varied as the world’s climes. From dark-skinned tribesmen of the southern continents to the pale and barbaric raiders of the northern lands, humans possess a wide variety of skin colors, body types, and facial features.
\nLanguages: Common.
\nAge Range: Adult 17, old age 53, max age 70-110
\nHuman Males: Height 5'-6'6 and weight 130-220 (Average 5'9\" , 175 lb).
\nHuman Females: Height 4'7\"-6'1\" and weight 95-185 (Average 5'4\", 140 lb).

Usage: affixed to weapon
A talisman is a single-use alchemical object designed to be quickly attached to a weapon or armor to provide a single effect. A talisman is used up after one use. An item (weapon, armor, or shield) can only have one attached talisman at a time. Affixing a talisman or removing it takes an action. Using an affixed talisman is a free action.

\nSee power: @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-powers.Healing]{Healing}
\nPotions are alchemical concoctions enchanted with arcane energies. Drinking the potion (an action) activates the @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000001]{power} contained within immediately. Each potion can only contain one power, and each potion contains only one dose.
\nAn individual can only benefit from one potion per round. If given more than one, roll randomly to see which one takes effect—all others are wasted.
\nA potion can be administered to an @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore03rules0.JournalEntryPage.03combat00000000]{Incapacitated} or unconscious person (as an action).
\nCraft: The crafting cost of a minor potion is equal to its @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore05powers.JournalEntryPage.05powers00000001]{power’s} Rank × the number of @Compendium[swpf-core-rules.swpf-edges.Power Points]{Power Points} it uses; then multiply that total by 25 gp. A major potion doubles the final result (For example, a potion of minor healing without any modifiers is Novice (1) × 3 power point × 25 gp = 75 gp). A potion's market price is double their cost to craft

\nProfessional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads and enduring harsh conditions. After a few days getting used to their gear (GM’s call), they treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Encumbrance} and @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore02gear00.JournalEntryPage.02gear0000000000]{Minimum Strength} to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty. (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.)
\nThey also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see @UUID[Compendium.swpf-core-rules.swpf-rules.swpfcore04theadv.JournalEntryPage.04hazards0000000]{Hazards}).
\nThis Edge has no effect on Armor Interference or Armor Restriction.
