Kip Up
Level 7 Skill General

Prerequisites: master in Acrobatics

You stand up. This movement doesn’t trigger reactions.

Lasting Coercion
Level 2 Skill General

Prerequisites: expert in Intimidation

When you successfully Coerce someone, the maximum time
they comply increases to a week, still determined by the GM.
If you’re legendary, the maximum increases to a month.

Legendary Codebreaker
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Society

Your skill with languages and codes is so great that you
can decipher information with little more than a quick read
through a text. You can Decipher Writing using Society
while reading at normal speed. If you slow down and spend
the full amount of time that’s ordinarily required and roll a
success, you get a critical success; if you critically succeed
while spending the normal amount of time, you gain a nearly
word-for-word understanding of the document.

Legendary Linguist
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Society, Multilingual

You’re so skilled with languages you can create a pidgin instantly.
You can always talk to any creature that has a language—even a
language you don’t know—by creating a new pidgin language that
uses simplified terms and conveys basic concepts. To do so, you
must first understand at least what medium of communication
the creature uses (speech, sign language, and so on).

Legendary Medic
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Medicine

You’ve discovered medical breakthroughs or techniques that
achieve miraculous results. Once per day for each target, you can
spend 1 hour treating that target and attempt a Medicine check
to remove a disease or the blinded, deafened, doomed, or drained
condition. Use the DC of the disease or of the spell or effect that
created the condition. If the effect’s source is an artifact, above
20th level, or similarly powerful, increase the DC by 10.

Legendary Negotiation
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Diplomacy

You can negotiate incredibly quickly in adverse situations. You
attempt to Make an Impression and then Request your opponent
cease their current activity and engage in negotiations. You
take a –5 penalty to your Diplomacy check. The GM sets the
DC of the Request based on the circumstances—it’s generally
at least a very hard DC of the creature’s level. Some creatures
might simply refuse, and even those who agree to parley might
ultimately find your arguments lacking and return to violence.

Legendary Performer
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Performance, Virtuosic Performer

Your fame has spread throughout the lands. NPCs who succeed
at a DC 10 Society check to Recall Knowledge have heard of you
and usually have an attitude toward you one step better than
normal, depending on your reputation and the NPC’s disposition.
For instance, if you’re well-known for cruel and demanding
behavior, creatures might be intimidated by you, rather than be
friendly toward you. When you Earn Income with Performance,
you attract higher-level audiences than your location would
allow, as audiences flock to see you. For instance, rulers and
angels might travel to your small tower in the woods to hear
you perform. Typically, this increases the audiences available by
2 levels or more, determined by the GM.

Legendary Professional
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Lore

Your fame has spread throughout the lands (for instance, if
you have Warfare Lore, you might be a legendary general or
tactician). This works as Legendary Performer above, except
you gain higher-level jobs when you Earn Income with Lore.

Legendary Sneak
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Stealth, Swift Sneak

You’re always sneaking unless you choose to be seen, even
when there’s nowhere to hide. You can Hide and Sneak even
without cover or being concealed. When you employ an
exploration tactic other than Avoiding Notice, you also gain
the benefits of Avoiding Notice unless you choose not to. See
page 479 for more information about exploration tactics.

Legendary Survivalist
Level 15 Skill General

Prerequisites: legendary in Survival

You can survive indefinitely without food or water and can
endure severe, extreme, and incredible cold and heat without
taking damage from doing so.
