## Where are the Specialized Skills Like 'Science' and 'Pilot'?
Only one 'Typed' skill is shown for an Agent by default, that being Art (Painting), and it is *below* all the other skills. It can be removed by clicking the trash icon inside the box for the skill. Likewise, new typed skills can be added by clicking the _+_ button just above the section.

## Why Does the 'Lethality' Roll Show Damage Even on a Success?
For Lethality, the D100 test against the target lethality threshold is evaluated like a normal skill test. But regardless of the outcome, the damage associated with a non-lethal roll (2D10) is also displayed in paretheses as lethality does not affect some creatures.
Note - the Lethality roll does not currently take into account the changes that rolling a critical on the associated attack roll involves. For example, on a critical _Firearms_ check with a weapon with a lethality of 10%, the threshold doubles to 20%, and if that check fails the resulting damage doubles as well.

## Where is an Agent's Breaking Point Shown?
It is under the _Mental_ tab, as are the boxes to tick for _Incidents of Sanity Loss Without Going Insane_ and an Agents _Motivations_ and _Disorders_. Clicking the _Reset_ button will automatically change it to current SAN - POW.

## "Inhuman Rules" - Why are Results for x5 Tests Different for Creatures with a x5 that is Greater than 100%?
Per the rules in the Handler's Guide, if a creature has a physical attribute that is 20 or above (giving a x5 of 100% or higher), it is considered "inhuman" and all rolls that are not a 100 automatically succeed. Furthermore, any roll that is **below the attribute score** is a critical (on top of the normal critical rules). For example, if a monster had a strength of 25, giving a x5 of 125, that monster could score a critical not only by rolling a 33, but also by rolling anything 25 or under.

## What is the Ritual Skill?
Per the rules in the Handler's Guide, the ritual skill is used (primarily) to activate rituals. It is calculated as 100 - SAN. E.g., the lower one's sanity, the easier ritual activation becomes. Like Unnatural, it cannot be improved through failure like other skills.

## Item Macros
Currently there are two built-in item macros, that allow rolling the associated skill check or damage roll for a weapon. Dragging a weapon (try clicking on 'Armor Piercing' to avoid rolling) onto the macro bar results in a macro like this that will roll damage:
