Skills

Animal ken
It takes a special touch to handle animals, especially if they are hurt or frightened. Animal Ken lets you know how to interact with an animal in such a way that gains its trust, for training animals, and for working animals.

Crafts
Crafts allows a character to create lasting beauty or repair for useful and functional articles with a variety of materials and media. This stat is one of those stats that you specify, or else it is assumed to be generic household repair.

Drive
Pretty self-explanatory. The greater your skill, the larger the variety of vehicles you can use.

Etiquette
Despite just good manners and social graces, etiquette concerns general diplomacy, haggling and seduction.

Firearms
Another self-explanatory stat. This one is your knowledge of gun safety, types, repair, and experience with guns in and out of combat.

Melee
Fighting with a weapon, such as a spear, sword, et cetera.

Performance
In her chosen area of expertise, such as music, dance, or acting, the character has attained a level of success and skill (so, this skill must be specified when it is bought).

Security
Familiarity with tools and techniques for picking locks, deactivating car/burglar alarms, hot-wiring automobiles, and even safecracking, as well as countless forms of breaking and entering. Security is not only for theft, but for setting up the "unbeatable system" or deducing where a thief broke in.

Stealth
Moving so that you can't be seen or heard. Making use of cover and shadow. Note that stealth used in the wilderness cannot exceed a character's survival score: skulking about in a dark alley is different from maneuvering through the woods.

Survival
Living off of the land is more than eating fruits and berries and drinking from a creek. Finding shelter, tracking, navigating through dangerous territory. Note that stealth used in the wilderness cannot exceed a character's survival score.
