| Spearfighting (V) |
|---|
| Spear is the favored weapon of the Khaleans, who use it with great skill not only to strike in the crowded woods, but in movement as well. The spear is supposed to be for hunting, though. |
| Female Rites (R) |
|---|
| Some things in Khale are tied strictly to gender. Violence is for men, while creating life is for women. The life rites are useful in religious acts, but also in midwifery, contraception, abortion and treating women’s and children’s diseases. |
| Carousing (V) |
|---|
| Khalean parties can be brutal affairs, especially as the men start competing to establish a pecking order. This Ability helps in holding the liquor, as well as holding your wits and not offending anybody. |
| Genealogy (R) |
|---|
| A necessary Ability for knowing your ancestors, determining moieties within the tribe and finding kinship relations with outsiders. The Ability also covers tribal history and mythology, which is useful in figuring out the correct greetings when interacting with ancestors and outsiders. |
| Guerrilla Warfare (I) |
|---|
| This is a similar Ability to BATTLE (R) in that it concerns planning and executing combat operations. The difference comes in the means: Khaleans have learned to deal with asymmetric force warfare, meaning that this Ability is good for ambushes, attacking soft targets, avoiding decisive combat, false flag operations, misdirecting the enemy and so on. Honorable battles between tribes are not resolved by these means, however; this is for foreign intruders. |
| Tree-bond (I) |
|---|
| Khalean ancestor worship is closely tied to this peculiar ability. Aside from ritual use in recognizing and worshipping ancestor spirits, the Ability can be used to enter the Green World from a suitable tree. |
| Woodworking (I) |
|---|
| Khaleans create most of their tools out of wood, often to highly exacting standards of beauty and utility. This Ability can be used to create both art and tools, such as weapons, buildings and even ships. |
| Lunar Forging (R) |
|---|
| This Ability is used to craft moon-metal by projecting psychic force on the heated substance. It might be useful for other similar shaping tasks as well. |
