| Camouflage | Camouflage is the art of concealing a large area, structure, or vehicles outside in natural cover. A vehicle painted a camouflage coloration pattern can be very difficult to see. A structure that is covered with vegetation and shaded correctly is almost invisible until you get close to it. The use of Tracking to cover tracks leading to the structure or vehicle is sometimes necessary to complete the camouflage. If the skill check is made, then there is no chance for an observer who is far away f | |

| Combat Luck | Combat luck is not really a skill. It is an esoteric concept that reflects that lucky things can happen to you.

Each point also gives you one point of "protection" versus attacks for which you do not otherwise have the proper armor or defensive screen. Level 1 - 1 Luck point
Level 2 - 2 Luck points
Level 3 - 2 Luck points and 1 | |
| Combat Pilot | While anyone with the appropriate vehicle skills can operate the indicated types of vehicles, this skill is used to resolve more extreme vehicle maneuvers.

| Concealment | Concealment is the art of hiding in natural cover and is usually used outdoors. If, however, the referee decides that, due to unusual structure, decor, lighting, or other factors, the inside of a structure offers enough places for concealment, the character can try to use this skill inside. If a character does not move or make noise once he is concealed, the skill check to remain concealed is made every turn. CONCEALMENT

| Cryptography | This skill allows a character the chance to decode an unknown cipher or code. If the code is a specific language, then the character must know the language before attempting to break the code.
