An individual’s ability to detect and discover clues or specific objects via an active search. This Skill also reflects the ability to “connect the dots” between different objects. Initially, this Skill resembles something akin to rummaging, but with training, it can become a quick and powerful tool. It can be used to detect everything from inconsistencies in credit transfers to finding biological samples at a crime scene. This Skill revolves around a focused, in-depth search and not a passive perception of the area around the individual.

Investigation +0: Common awareness of things happening around you.

Investigation +1: You understand the importance of observation without obstruction. You are more careful of the subtle nuances that can be observed and where they can lead, but it takes time and effort to form the connections.

Investigation +2: Your 'educated guess' success rate has improved, demonstrating your ability to connect the dots of a scene, or multiple instances of evidence you've looked over. You can put together the puzzle pieces, given enough time, and reliably produce an accurate result.

Investigation +3: You see the strands that connect events, and can follow those from point to point. It takes you relatively little time to piece together seemingly unconnected points of interest and form the bigger picture. CorSec would pay a decent living wage for your employ.

Investigation +4: When the so-called experts aren't enough, you're the one who gets the call. It is a relatively simple matter for you to piece together clues and connections as if weaving a complex tapestry. The world is full of hints, and you know the right places to look.

Investigation +5: The world is a loom before you, and you are the weaver at its helm. Everything has a place, everything is connected, and you see those connections as easily as if you were tracing a child's connect-the-dots artwork.

An individual’s ability to read and notice their surroundings via passive observation. This Skill emphasizes your character’s attention to detail without aid from the Force, as well as how effectively they can notice slight changes in their surroundings. It is useful for quickly noticing a nearby threat, noticing a muffled shout, picking up on the particular clothing worn by someone across the room, or even the slight changes in body language when weighing the truth of someone’s words.

Perception +0: You can tell when a painting is crooked on a wall, or something obvious is out of place. You can tell when someone is trying to sell you something you probably don’t need.

Perception +1: You can unravel how most magic tricks or sleights-of-hand work, and tend to be aware of the finer details in the world happening around you.

Perception +2: You can tell when someone is deceiving you without any Force divination and can notice things others do not after studying something with your full attention.

Perception +3: Details paint a larger picture of understanding and heighten your awareness of your surroundings. Very little escapes your notice when you are focused.

Perception +4: Even the smallest detail can reveal pertinent information, and even the best actors have problems hiding their “tells”.

Perception +5: You can see through even the best poker-face with only a quick glance. Nothing goes over your head; your reflexes are too fast.

Measures an individual’s aptitude for moving discreetly, avoiding detection, and utilizing the shadows to their advantage. This skill encompasses silent movement, concealment, disguise, and the ability to operate unseen in various situations. The success of Stealth is dependent on the target’s Perception skill.

Stealth +0: You know that it’s probably a bad idea to wear bright orange jumpsuits if you want to sneak up on people in an urban environment.

Stealth +1: You have a basic understanding of avoiding an enemy’s cone of vision to avoid detection. With enough time, you can find a hiding place that takes a while to find. You can put together a simple disguise that might pass at first glance, and keep a small blaster hidden inside a large coat.

Stealth +2: You have a basic understanding of light and shadow, and have become competent at using darkness to avoid detection even when someone is looking in your direction. You can create simple distractions to make things easier. Your footsteps are quiet at your normal walking speed. Your disguises have become more complex and hold up under closer scrutiny.

Stealth +3: Your understanding of light, shadow and colour deepens, and you are able to blend in with a variety of backgrounds. You can conceal larger weapons on your person, and can perform more complicated actions like running and climbing without making too much noise. You can put together a disguise that could fool even your close allies.

Stealth +4: You barely make a sound even when performing acrobatic manoeuvres and landing from height. You can find the optimal hiding place instantly to avoid detection. With time and preparation, you can disguise yourself as a particular person, even to that person’s friends.

Stealth +5: A master of the shadows, you go where you please and no one notices. Your movements are silent, and you can smuggle anything anywhere. Your disguises are visually foolproof even under intense scrutiny.
