[P8] Proficiencies, Nonweapon


# NonWeapon Proficiencies = (Int:Kn Score) + (Highest Level) + (Age adj.)
 
If not using subability scores and age adjustments, your number of nonweapons is just your Int score plus your highest level. Yes, that's a lot compared to normal 1st/2nd edition AD&D.
 
Every proficiency costs 1 slot. Each additional slot gives either one extra d20 to roll for the proficiency check (the best of all dice rolled is used), or +1 to the check needed.

[P8] Proficiencies, Nonweapon


[P8.9] Non-Weapon Proficiencies - BlahR Evasion

There is an Adventuring Proficiency for each Resistance type ("MR Evasion", "WR Evasion", etc.).
 
Here's which ability score each "blahR" lines up with for purposes of that blahR's "Evasion" proficiency check.
 
MIRef is "Magic or Innate Reflection". "PRRef" is "Psionic or Radiation Reflection".
 
It requires 1V action to use an Evasion proficiency. This 1V action does not count against the limit of 1P+1M+1V for the segment. Roll a check, each -1 you make by reduces the target's rating by 5% this segment for your effects.
 
There is currently no "GR Evasion" or Evasion for irreducible types.
