Levels:
• Novice: A character at this level is
probably a regular wilderness camper
or hiker. She can care for himself while
lost in the wilderness for a few days.
•• Professional: At this level, a character
has spent a great deal of time out in the
elements. He might have gone on wilderness
excursions in Alaska, worked in a national park,
or have been forced to fend for himself on the
streets for weeks at a time.
••• Experienced: At this rank, a character can care
for a small group of people in the wilderness,
keeping them fed, healthy, and safe until they
are found or they have a chance to return to
civilization.

•••• Expert: Barring a disaster, a character at this
rank could live off the land indefinitely. She
may not be particularly comfortable, but she
can take care of necessities.

••••• Master: A character
at this rank could be
dropped into the
middle of the des-
ert with no equip-
ment and walk out. He
knows how to survive in the
harshest environments on earth.
Weaponry

Weaponry is the ability to fight with
hand-to-hand weapons. A character with
this Skill can wield knives, swords, baseball
bats, or even things like a length of chain or
a chainsaw. If you are using a tool (other than a
gun or bow) to do violence to someone, Weaponry
is the appropriate Skill to use.
While guns are generally more dangerous, there are
definitely times when you do not have access to one. You
can almost always find something that you can use as a
hand weapon, even if it’s just something like a screwdriver
or a broom handle.
Sample actions: Identify fighting style (Intelligence +
Weaponry), Impressive display (Dexterity + Weaponry),
Size up opponent (Wits + Weaponry)
