Standard Operating Procedure

PCCs/PCIs (Pre-Combat Checks and Inspections):
You always check your gear and supplies before leaving on a mission in a systematic way. If there is ever a question whether you remembered something you were required to carry, have a full load of ammo, or made sure your equipment was functional; there isn't. You did.

Piano Fingers
Whenever you are the first one into a potentially booby-trapped location, and are able to do so you check it for traps. This includes opening doors, climbing through windows and hopping over walls. As long as you are able to move at a careful pace you never have to tell the GM that you are checking for traps. If you must rush, the GM must warn you.

Valuable Check
Whenever you are outdoors or in a public place you periodically check your carried items to make sure you aren't missing any. You do this without even thinking about it by patting your pockets, hefting your purse and so on. If an item is lost or stolen the GM may roll 2d-2 to determine how many minutes pass before you notice (on a zero it is has been only seconds!).

***************

Lay Member
You are a member in good standing of a church, temple or other organized religious gathering. You attend church regularly and have learned a lot about your faith even though you've never received formal training. You get a +1 reaction from the individual clerics that you personally interact with on a regular basis (no more than five). Additionally you get a +3 to the default for Theology (Your Faith); +2 to the default for Religious Ritual (Your Faith) and +1 to the default for one of the following:

Occultism
Meditation
History (Your Faith in Your Region)

These skills still count as defaults, not as studied skills. You can’t default other skills to the improved defaults and don’t benefit from rules that apply only to people who "know” a skill.
