NEW CLASS SKILLS
NEW CLASS SKILLS:
I've added a few skills that appeared originally in the D&D Player's Handbook, but weren't included in the Pulp Heroes game. These skills are italized for quick reference on the table below. New skills are linked to their descriptions. The standard Classes gain the following additional class skills:
Explorer: Animal Empathy, Appraise, and Intuit Direction.
Gangster: Appraise, and Read Lips.
Martial Artist: Intuit Direction.
Mystic: Animal Empathy, Intuit Direction, Read Lips, and Ventriloquism.
Private Eye: Appraise, and Read Lips.
Scientist: None.
Soldier: Intuit Direction.

NEW CLASS SKILLS
VENTRILOQUISM (Cha; Trained Only)
You can 'throw' your voice to make it appear that it is originating from someplace else (i.e. across the room, coming from a statue or animal, from behind a door, etc.). You can speak in any language that you know.
Check: You generally must be within 30 feet of the location where you wish to 'throw' your voice. All those within hearing distance who make their Will save (DC = Ventriloquism check roll) will still hear the 'illusion' but will recognize it as a trick. i.e. If a character gets a Ventriloquism skill check of 16, then the Will Save DC is 16. It takes 1 round to 'throw' your voice.
Retry: No, though an additional save is needed with each use of this skill.
Special: Once a person makes a successful Will save, he gains a +2 bonus against further Ventriloquism attempts within the same encounter.
