Special O.C.C. Abilities
Underground Tunneling (Special): Knows how to dig and build solid, strong tunnels (no fear of a cave-in) with amazing speed and dexterity. He can also excavate ruins and the sites of cave-ins with the same prowess. In addition, the character can usually tell if an existing tunnel or chamber is a natural formation or whether it was built by humans or others. The character can also tell if it’s new, old, or ancient. Base Skill: 40% + 5% per level of experience.
2. Underground Architecture: The character is an excellent underground architect, able to build small and large rooms, ornate archways, staircases, and great chambers, as well as a labyrinth of tunnels, passageways, and underground traps (most common are pit and cave-in type traps). Likewise, the character can recognize the styles of human construction. The Mining ’Borg who is travelling slowly and cautiously while looking for underground traps can locate them, and avoid or deactivate them. Base Skill: 30% + 5% per level of experience; detection and deactivation of traps is done at half his normal architecture skill level.
3. Underground Sense of Direction: The character has an innate ability to tell direction when underground, even in total darkness (not applicable on the surface). Thus, the cyborg can tell whether he is travelling up, down or straight, the approximate angle of decline or ascent, approximately how far below the surface he is, and the approximate direction (north, south, east, west). Base Skill: 40% + 5% per level of experience.
This skill also enables him to judge the approximate locations to surface structures (natural and artificial), but only if the character is familiar with the area. The character will also recognize traits and aspects of the underground tunnel or construct that serve as landmarks for him. Base Skill: 20% + 5% per level of experience; – 25% if in an unfamiliar area.
4. Metal Working: A basic understanding of the methods and craft of the blacksmith, smith techniques and procedures, and working with metal, particularly in the area of making simple weapons, horseshoes, nails, and jewelry. Base Skill: 40% + 5% per level of experience.
