New or Revised Skills

Bluff (Cha)
You can use the Bluff skill to feint in airship combat. Check: With a successful Bluff check, you mislead another airship so that it cant dodge your attack effectively. This check is opposed by the target pilots Sense Motive check. If you succeed, the next attack your airship makes against the target ignores its pilots Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if it has one), thus lowering the targets Armor Class score. Using Bluff as a feint in airship combat is an attack action. Special: If you have the Airship Feint feat, you gain a +2 bonus on Bluff checks when using the skill to feint in airship combat.

Drive (Dex)
Check: Routine tasks, such as ordinary driving, dont require a skill check. Make a check only when some unusual circumstance exists (such as inclement weather or an icy surface), or when the character is driving during a dramatic situation (the character is being chased or attacked, for example, or is trying to reach a destination in a limited amount of time). Magitek operators use the Drive skill to operate their magitek. In general, magitek operators don t need to make Drive checks to steer their magitek around the battlefield. However, this skill may come into play in combat under the following circumstances: When trying to move past a foe without provoking an attack of opportunity, a magitek operator can make a Drive check instead of a Tumble check. A magitek operator can oppose a trip attempt with a Drive check. Try Again?: Most driving checks have consequences for failure that make trying again impossible. Special: A character can take 10 when driving, but cant take 20. Time: A Drive check is a move action.

Knowledge (Technology) (Int)

You can make a Knowledge (technology) check to correctly identify airships, vehicles, and Magitek. Check: The DCs for identifying technological items vary depending on the type of information required. Identifying an airship by its type, identifying a Magitek by its structure, or identifying a vehicle by its frame: DC 10. Determining the function or purpose of a particular mechanical system: DC 15. Recalling the standard, factory-model design specs of a particular type of airship, Magitek, or vehicle: DC 20. When confronted with an unfamiliar piece of technology, you can make a Knowledge (technology) check to correctly surmise the primary (if not singular) purpose of the device. A successful check result does not enable you to activate the item, nor does it make you proficient with the item. For basic tools or instruments, the DC is 10. For anything else, the DC is 20.

Navigate (Int)
With the usage of Airships, you can use the Navigate skill to plot a course between continents, cities, islands, or across oceans. Check: Make a Navigate check when youre trying to find your way to a distant location without directions or other specific guidance. The DC depends on the length of the trip. If you succeed, you move via the best reasonable course toward your goal. If you fail, you still reach the goal, but it takes you twice as long (you lose time backtracking and correcting your path). If you fail by more than 5, you travel the expected time, but only get halfway to your destination, at which point you become lost. You may make a second Navigate check (DC 20) to regain your path. If you succeed, you continue on to your

destination; the total time for your trip is twice the normal time. If you fail, you lose half a day before you can try again. You keep trying until you succeed, losing half a day for each failure. Length of Trip Short (a few hours) Moderate (a day or two) Long (up to a week) Extreme (more than a week) DC 20 22 25 28

You can use Navigate to determine your position on earth without the use of any high-tech equipment by checking the constellations or other natural landmarks. You must have a clear view of the night sky to make this check. The DC is 15. Special: You can take 10 when making a Navigate check. You can take 20 only when determining your location, not when traveling. A character with the Guide feat gets a +2 bonus on all Navigate checks. Time: Plotting a course is a full-round action.

Pilot (Dex)
You can use the Pilot skill to fly any kind of airship. Check: Unless you have the Airship Operation feat, you take a -4 penalty on Pilot checks made to pilot an airship.

Repair (Int)
You can repair or jury-rig damaged machinery, including ordinary items, vehicles, airships and Magitek. Check: Repairing damage to items, vehicles, airships, and Magitek takes 1 hour of work, a mechanical tool kit, and a proper facility such as a workshop or hanger bay. (Without the toolkit, you take a -4 penalty on your Repair check.) At the end of the hour, make a Repair check (DC 20). Success repairs 2d6 points of damage. If damage remains, you may continue to make repairs for as many hours as it takes to restore the objects to full hit points. Special: Items, vehicles, airships, and Magitek that are reduced to 0 hp cannot be repaired. It can be salvaged for parts, however (see the Salvage feat description for details).

Magitek Crush [General]

You can hurl your magiteks body onto opponents to deal tremendous damage. Prerequisite: Magitek Operation. Benefit: As an attack action, you can maneuver your magitek to jump or fall onto opponents, using the magiteks body to crush them. This attack is useful only against creatures at least one size categories smaller than your magitek. The base damage for a crush attack depends on your magiteks size category, as given below. Add 1.5 times your magitek-modified Strength bonus to this base damage to determine the total damage for the attack. Magitek Size Damage Large 2d6 Huge 2d8

A crush attack deals bludgeoning damage and affects as many creatures as can fit under your magiteks body.

On a failure, the creature is pinned and automatically takes crush damage each round the pin is maintained.

Benefit: Your magitek can make a grapple check at a 20 penalty against an opponent at least one size categories smaller than it. If the grapple succeeds, you can use an attack action to fling the held opponent on your next action. The range increment for the thrown foe is 10 feet, and the maximum range is 100 feet. A creature may be thrown horizontally or vertically. If thrown vertically, it takes normal falling damage. If thrown horizontally, it takes damage as though it had fallen half the distance thrown (rounded down), and you may apply your magitek-modified Strength bonus to the damage. Your magitek may also fling your opponent at another magitek, vehicle, or creature. To do so, make an attack roll at a 4 penalty, with appropriate range penalties, against the target.
