Rising from a kneeling position is either a free action or a move action at the GM’s discretion – a character may drop to one knee (to receive a Defense bump, for example) and rise as a free action, while a character praying from a kneeling position would rise as a move action.Rising from sitting or prone still requires a move action to complete.Revised skill: Knowledge (military science)The revised Knowledge (tactics) skill reads as follows:Knowledge (military science): Military organization and administration, history and traditions, combat tactics and maneuver, logistics, and military justice.Knowledge (military science) provides the same benefits outlined by the present rules and meets the prerequisite for any class ability, skill, or feat as the present Knowledge (tactics) skill. In addition, Knowledge (military science) has a number of other uses. For example: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a character with Knowledge (military science) observing another character in uniform can identify the country and branch of service (DC 15), the character’s rank (DC 20) and unit (DC 25), what service medals the character has won by her or his ribbons (DC 30), and that at least one of the ribbons is fake because the character couldn’t possibly have been present in the theatre of operations to receive it (DC 35) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a character using Knowledge (military science) studying satellite photos of a military installation can identify that the installation is a fuel and weapons depot (DC 15) for mechanized infantry (DC 20) in at least battalion strength (DC 25)</li> </ul>Knowledge (military science) shares synergies like that of the present Knowledge (tactics), but may have some other applications as well. For example: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Knowledge (military science) provides a synergy bonus to Knowledge (civics) for military justice including courts martial – anyone interested in playing a JAG attorney or NIS agent? </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Knowledge (military science) provides a synergy bonus to Knowledge (technology) for identifying the capabilities of a new weapons system </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Knowledge (military science) provides a synergy bonus to Knowledge (history) for the location of bunkers built for a battle decades ago</li> </ul>New skill: Craft (culinary arts)The new Craft skill reads as follows:Craft (culinary arts): Food preparation, menu planning, and food preservation and storage.Examples of Craft (culinary arts) in the game: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Recognizing the ingredients of a dish by taste or presentation</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Preserving foods for travel</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Correctly planning rations needed for an expedition</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Preparing a cordon bleu meal</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Identifying a fine wine</li> </ul>Possible synergies include Diplomacy, Knowledge (history), and Bluff.Revised feats: Concealable Armor Proficiency, Tactical Armor Proficiency, and Archaic Armor ProficiencyThe light, medium, and heavy armor feats are replaced by the Concealable Armor Proficiency, Tactical Armor Proficiency, and Archaic Armor Proficiency featsConcealable Armor ProficiencyYou are proficient with concealable armor (see Table 4-9).Benefit: When you wear a type of armor with which you are proficient, you get to add the armor’s entire equipment bonus to your Defense.Normal: A character who wears armor with which s/he is not proficient takes an armor penalty on checks involving the following skills: Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, and Tumble. Also, a character who wears armor with which s/he is not proficient adds only a portion of the armor’s equipment bonus to her Defense.Tactical Armor ProficiencyYou are proficient with tactical armor (see Table 4-9).Benefit: See Concealable Armor Proficiency.Normal: See Concealable Armor ProficiencyArchaic Armor ProficiencyYou are proficient with archaic armor (see Table 4-9).Benefit: See Concealable Armor Proficiency.Normal: See Concealable Armor Proficiency.Impromptu armor does not require a feat to use proficiently.Alternate pre-requisites for advanced classesThis list is in development. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Daredevil AdC: Player may substitute six ranks in Ride or Balance for required ranks in Drive</li> </ul></blockquote>
