Kinesics as a skill which I find fascinating. Now, I imagine a real profiler will have a combination of skills that a Criminal Minds, NCIS, etc. hero would have in one Wildcard skill called Kinesics!: Body-Language, Detect Lies, Diplomacy, Fast-Talk, Interrogation, Intimidation, Psychology, Savoir-Faire, and Streetwise (perhaps?).
Toss in Intelligence Analysis, Forensics, Criminology and Sociology for a solid Profiler! skill. :-)
Using Hyper-Competency rules from PU: Wildcard Skills packs a nice cinematic punch. Also, Face-Man!, Spy!, Talker!, Negotiator! to name a few...
