Each class has a predetermined breakdown of skill point allocation. This represents the standard education they would receive over the course of their time employed in their given field.
Skill points are locked in to a category, and can not be used to purchase skills from other categories. For example, you may not purchase Combat skills with Athletic skill points. Background skill points may be used to adjust the level of other skills, but can not be used to purchase skills outright
The number of skill points you have to spend is determined by the following chart, rounded to the nearest whole number:
| Experience Level | Points Available |
| 2 - 4 | Skill Pool Category Value *1 |
| 5 - 7 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.25 |
| 8 - 10 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.3 |
| 11 - 13 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.45 |
| 14 - 15 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.55 |
| 16 - 17 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.75 |
| 18 - 19 | Skill Pool Category Value *1.9 |
| 20 - 20 | Skill Pool Category Value *2 |
Skills are purchased for 5 points, and are automatically granted at the level indicated in the Level Calculation for a given skill. Skills can be raised from their default level by spending additional skill points, this is shown in step 4.
Background skills are different than other skills. Some background skills grand skills from other categories, others affect the levels of skills, or have other effects. Background skills allow a player to customize her character beyond what limitations are imposed by the Skill Point Pools imposed by the class that has been selected. Background skills have varying costs indicated on the Background skills chart.
In several cases you will have an odd number of points left over in a given category which are not enough to purchase a skill or raise a skills value. You have three alternatives with these points. They can be used to purchase Hash Marks, 1 Skill Point for 4 Hash Marks. They can purchase; Fortune 1 Skill Point for 2 Fortune, Glory 1 skill point for 1 Glory, Lifestyle Points, 1 Skill Point for 1 Lifestyle Point, or they can be converted into money to purchase equipment, 1 skill point for 1 dollar. When using skill points to purchase hash marks, the hash marks can be distributed as the player sees fit within the skill category the skill point was intended for. You may not use Cerebral skill points to buy hash marks for Handguns, for example.
In the case of leftover Background Skill points, Background Skills do not have levels, therefore leftover points in this category become wild card points which can be used to increase skills in any category, can be used to purchase hash marks for any skill at a rate of 1 background skill point for 3 hash marks, or can be converted to Starting Money at a rate of 1 point for 5 dollars. Background Skill points are the only points that may be used to increase Initiative, Avoidance, or Will.
Each class also begins with a specialty skill. The specialty skill does not have to be purchased with skill points. Specialty skills also receive a +1 to crit, success, and fumble without having to make any other alterations.

| Angiogenesis | The agent can stimulate and amplify the natural healing processes of an outside body, greatly accelerating healing with instant to near instant results. Multiplier x 5 + Targets Will healing, Crit double. Can not restore Wounded Hit Points. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Cer | Roll/2 |
| Blind | If the agent can see the eyes of a target, he can temporarily disrupt the function of the optic nerve, rendering the target effectively blind. 2 Phases. Will to defend. Crit blinds 2 hours. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Cer | Roll/2 |
| Hibernation | Hibernation is a temporary imposed coma. The agent can inflict sleep on another person who is distracted or unfocused. Hibernation will last until the target is released by the agent, until the agent is more than 10 yards away, or until the agent loses sight of the target. Will to defend. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Inter | Roll/2 |
| Invigorate | With simple skin on skin contact the agent can cause the target to release a flood of Adrenaline, Oxytocin, and the bodies own natural pain killers. This causes the target to immediately lose all wound modifiers for 3 phases, and to feel an involuntary trust bond with the Agent. Will to defend. Crit lasts 2 hours. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Ath | Roll/3 |
| Resuscitate | By line of sight to a target, an Agent can remotely awaken a sleeping target involuntarily. The target will feel alert and have no negative side affects of this awakening for 2 phases. Crit grants +3 to any roll for the next phase for target. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Ath | Roll/2 |
| Shell | When the agent becomes wounded, the adrenaline response triggers a PK reaction which stimulates the skin cells to instantaneously produce a huge increase in the keratin protein, transforming the epidermis into a thick keratin crust. This impedes movement somewhat (-1) but helps to protect the wounded agent from harm (armor -15, 35 AHP) The body can not maintain this level of keratin production, and the shell will be slough off within about 15 minutes(30 phases). This process consumes an immense amount of protein stores from the Agent leaving them in need of protein and rest. Crit doubles the effect and duration. | Men | Per, Exp | Biokinesis | Ath | 2 |
| Cocoon | The agent can wrap an inanimate object in ice for a moment, rendering that object useless, or anchored to another object for 2 phases. Crit lasts 2 hours. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Cer | Roll/2+3 |
| Frost Scales | By coating his skin in a layer of ice, the agent can allow himself to take more physical damage than he could otherwise. Adds temporary HP to Normal HP equal to the CRx4. Lasts until destroyed, or for a number of phases equal the CR. Intimidation Success Rolls +1, PK abilities will consume NHP or WHP, and will not affect the Frost Scales. Crit doubles effect. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Com | Roll/2+1 |
| Frosty | When a trained agent begins to black out, or is rendered unconscious, he automatically triggers a response that decreases the air temperature surrounding himself, and potentially awakens within fractions of a second, effectively never seeming to have even lost consciousness. Does not effect chemically induced sleep or natural sleep. Crit grants +2 to any rolls next phase. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Ath | Roll/2 |
| ICe Amplify | When a source of water is present, an agent can cause that water to condense a greater amount of water from the air than the agent could do without the presence of water, as it condenses it will freeze in place forming into shapes as the Agent wills it. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Ath | Roll/2+3 |
| Ice Barrier | When in danger, Adrenaline spikes in the Agents system allow him to condense a burst of water vapor from the air, a change in humidity that is detectable without instruments to bystanders, and construct a simple wall thick enough to intercept most bullets. Must be wounded, lasts 4 phases. Stops all conventional rounds, has hit points equal to the CR x 3. Crit doubles effect and duration. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Com | Roll/3 |
| Ice Manifest | Trained agents can condense water vapor in air, and give it direction and velocity, effectively creating “ice bullets” x3 + 35 Crit Effect +double. | Con | Men, Per | Cryokinesis | Com | Roll/2+1 |
| Current | If the agent can touch a power source, he can convert his body and mind into a stream of electricity and instantly transport himself to any line of site location within his full movement. | Con | Men, Per | Electrokinesis | Tran | Roll/3 |
| Defibrillate | When a comrade has become incapacitated and is not responding to stimulus, no pulse is evident, an Agent with medical training to diagnose the patient can apply hands to chest and channel a substantial electrical shock directly into the patients heart, in some cases stimulating it to resume normal function. Crit rolls may stimulate brain functions, granting +1 to all rolls next phase. | Str | Men, Per | Electrokinesis | Trade | Roll/3 |
| Electric Amplify | When an electrical current is present, an Agent in contact with any portion of the circuit can amplify that current significantly, often disrupting breakers and fuses. Crit allows the agent to absorb the energy and release it within one hour as a no cost Electric Manifest. | Str | Per, Men | Electrokinesis | Trade | Roll/2+2 |
| Electric Manifest | Trained Agents can quickly generate static electricity in their vicinity, and then channel that electricity in an arc through the air to a grounded target, effectively “shooting lightning.” Multiplier x4 + 40 Crit Effect double. | Str | Men, Per | Electrokinesis | Com | Roll/2+2 |
| Grounding | An agent can, with physical contact to an electrical current, redirect that current to ground, preventing it from completing its circuit. The grounding will persist until the agent physically releases the current. Crit allows the agent to harness the energy to amplify his own brain functions, +4 to any rolls while in contact with the circuit. | Str | Men, Per | Electrokinesis | Trade | Roll/2+2 |
| Plasma Field | When an agents adrenaline response is triggered, the Agent can generate sufficient amounts of electricity to ionize atmospheric gasses around them, and then to lock those gasses in place with an electromagnetic field. This cold plasma shield can repel most conventional threats to the Agent for 2 phases. (Must be wounded) -35 damage reduction. Crit doubles effect. | Str | Men, Per | Electrokinesis | Ath | Roll/2 |
| Transmission | An agent can create his own radio frequencies, which he can broadcast up to 100 yards at frequencies he selects. This allows him to transmit voices or sounds of his choosing through the receiving device, but only on one frequency at a time. Crit allows the agent to detect bioelectric signals within broadcast range. | Str | Per, Men | Electrokinesis | Trade | Roll/2 |
| Combustion | When surrounded by multiple threats, the Agent can focus and expel heat energy in waves around himself. These waves have a radius of approximately 8 feet. Everything within these waves will encounter the waves, and could combust. Multiplier x3 + 25 Crit Effect +15 | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Com | Roll/2+3 |
| Fire Barrier | Wounded agents who triggered an adrenaline response have been able to erect an instantaneous wall of intense flame approximately 16 feet across, this wall will burn for 2 phases, and can light objects on fire leaving a natural fire wall behind. Any organic material in the fire will would be quickly consumed, however bullets and other objects can pass through, though the attackers will be unable to see through the wall of flame, and will have to fire blindly. Crit allows the wall to channel a free Fire Manifest each phase it is active. | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Ath | Roll/3 |
| Fire Manifest | Trained Agents can cause dust and gasses to rise to such temperatures that they spontaneously combust, and give that combustion directionality and velocity, effectively creating a “fireball.” Multiplier x5 + 35 Crit Effect double. | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Com | Roll/2+2 |
| Fire Nullify | Agents in the field have developed a defensive tactic which allows them to minimize or even extinguish sources of fire ignition, this includes incendiary devices such as explosives and grenades, light sources such as lamps or candles, campfires, and in some cases even firearms. Increases target fumble +10. | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Cer | Roll/2 |
| Flame Skin | By igniting the oxygen in the air immediately surrounding their bodies, agents can appear to be coated in a skin of fire. Phases = CR, all unarmed combat damage doubled. Intimidation Success Rolls +2, all unarmed combat damage taken reduced by -5, unarmed combatants take 5 damage per attack. Crit doubles effect. | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Inter | Roll/2+2 |
| Suppressing Fire | By creating a mostly harmless bursting display of sparks and flares, the agent can distract and confuse attackers. -3 to all combat skills within 25 feet. Lasts phases equal to CR. Crit double effect. | Coor | Men, Per | Pyrokinesis | Com | Roll/2 |
| Confound | By maintaining eye contact with a subject, the Agent can disorient the brain, inducing an intoxicated like state, This state leaves them open to suggestion, or allows the Agent to create short memory gaps. Critical successes allow the Agent to force the target to blackout. Will to defend. Crit allows agent limited mind control over the target. | Soc | Men, Per | Telepathy | Inter | Roll/2 |
| False Face | Some skilled agents have developed a technique which allows them to appear to have a different face to any who view them physically. They do not need to see the targets to impose this face, merely hold the face they wish to project in focus and concentrate on that face. The effect can blur a bit on close scrutiny, particularly if the Agent is forced to engage in conversation, or perform tasks that could sway his concentration. It is best to remain in the shadows or fringes when attempting the false face. In close contact, such as conversation, Will can cancel the effect for individual observers. | Soc | Men, Per | Telepathy | Inter | Roll/2 |
| Remote Viewing | Agents trained in remote viewing can cause their consciousness to wander from their body. This allows them to hear, smell, and see in a ghostlike state. They are completely invisible to non-PK personnel, but can not pass through walls or interact with people or objects. They can continue to use some forms of PK that do not require physical touch or the presence of their body, or the manifestation of elements. They can wander in this state up to approximately 25 yards of their body for a number of minutes equal to the CR x 2. Any damage to their body will cancel the viewing. If the viewing is disrupted prematurely, the Agent will awaken in a groggy disoriented state -4 to all actions. Crit doubles effect, and negates awakened modifiers. | Soc | Per, Men | Telepathy | Inv | Roll/2+2 |
| Shadow | When operating alone, sometimes an agent may wish to appear to outnumber a target. In these situations an Agent can manifest an illusory personage of their choosing. The illusion can extend to sound and even the sensation of touch if the environment is such that the Agent can maintain concentration on the shadow, and the person he interacts with at the same time. Others in the area will see the shadow but might not hear or feel it if they brush past. Direct contact with the Shadow can be detected with Will. Crit gives all shadows tangible substance in the minds of all witnesses. | Soc | Per, Men | Telepathy | Inter | Roll/2+2 |
| Veritas | If an Agent can defeat the Will of his subject, an Agent can compel the subject to tell the truth. The words will flow like normal conversation and the subject will not be aware of what has just transpired, and might deny that it has occurred when questioned. New roll for each statement. Crit allows limited mind reading in regards to the subject at hand. | Soc | Per, Men | Telepathy | Inv | Roll/2 |
| Voice Projection | Agents can project voices and sounds which can be heard by a number of people at once. Crit allows the agent to emit a sonic blast doing x3+2 dmg. | Soc | Per, Men | Telepathy | Inter | Roll/2 |
| Precognition | Agents are able to involuntarily sense impending danger and react with greater speed. Replaces Initiative. Scores receive a x3 multiplier. | Per | Per, Men | Telepathy | Cer | 5 |
