技能解放（Skill Unlocks）随着角色在某项技能上投入5点、10点、15点和20点技能点，技能解放（Skill Unlocks）会赋予她新的能力和技能使用方式。任何选取标志性技能（见后文）专长的角色，都能够获得单项技能的技能解放内容，这些能力同时还是第一章中介绍的改版盗贼的基本能力（见20页），盗贼可以使用她的盗贼绝艺（rogue’s edge）能力来解放几个对她来说最具代表性的技能。作为一种选项，你也可以在普通游戏中进行技能解放，但你要意识到这会让技能变得更加强大，还会添加它的灵活性，因此毫无代价地将技能解放开放给所有职业带来的结果是，技能点较多的职业会获得更多的增强（比如审判者和吟游诗人），尤其是在与盗贼相比较的时候。另一种做法则是禁用标志性技能专长，限定仅有盗贼可以获得技能解放。
标志性技能（普通）
Signature Skill (General)
你在某项特定技能上的能力可谓出神入化，因此你可以使用该项技能做出他人无法做到的事情。
先决条件：在所选技能上投入5点技能点
好处：选择一项技能。你获得该项技能中在投入5点时所列出的能力。当你在被选择的技能上投入更多的技能点时，便会获得额外的能力。若你在被选择的技能中投入了10点或更多技能点，那么你能够立即获得适当的能力。若你选择的技能是工艺（Craft）、知识（Knowledge）、表演（Perform）或专业（Profession），那么你仅会在该技能中的一个单类中获得后文所列出的能力，比如工艺（制弓）。该专长仅能被选取一次，不过它会与盗贼绝艺（rogue’s edge）能力以及技高一筹（cutting edge）盗贼天赋叠加。
特技动作（Acrobatics）在特技动作技能中投入足够的技能点，便可以获得后述能力。
5点：当你使用特技动作技能以正常速度通过敌人的威胁范围且不引发借机攻击时，检定的DC仅会增加5点（以取代原本的增加10点）。当你尝试DC为20或更低的特技动作检定时，不会失去敏捷加值（aren’t denied your Dexterity bonus）。
10点：你能够尝试一次承受-10减值的特技动作检定，并以结果作为你的CMD对抗摔绊战技。你还能够尝试一次承受-10减值的特技动作检定以取代避免坠落（avoid falling）的反射豁免。你必须在摔绊尝试或反射豁免做出之前选择是否使用该能力。在成功通过DC为20的特技动作检定后，你可以将一次意外坠落（unintentional fall）的高度视为比正常低10尺，结果每比DC高10点还可以再降低10尺，并且还可以将一次故意坠落（intentional fall）的高度视为比正常要低，检定每比DC高10点便会降低10尺。
15点：当你从倒地（prone）中起身时，不会引起借机攻击。
20点：当你跳跃（jumping）时，任何特技动作检定的结果翻倍，而且只要你在坠落结束时没有昏迷（remain conscious），就不可能倒地（prone）。
估价（Appraise）在估价技能中投入足够的技能点，便可以获得后述能力。
5点：成功通过一次DC20的估价检定，可以揭示出物品是否为魔法物品，接着进行第二次检定（DC = 25 + 物品的施法者等级）可以揭示出物品的特性。你能够使用估价来判断非文字性（non-written）的伪造与假冒。
10点：通过以标准动作成功进行一次DC20的检定，你可以判断出一个生物佩戴或穿戴（或者5尺立方范围内）着的最昂贵的物品（object）。你绝不会完全错估（make a wildly inaccurate appraisal）一个物品的价值。
15点：以上述方式判断最为昂贵的物品仅需要移动动作。你能够尝试一次承受-10减值的估价检定，并以此来替代判断是否相信虚假幻觉（figment）或五官幻觉（glamer）的意志豁免。
20点：以上述方式判断最为昂贵的物品仅需要移动动作，而且如果检定成功的话，你还会使用盗取（steal）那件物品或者从该生物身上使用卸武（disarm）取下那件物品的战技检定中获得+2环境加值。
唬骗（Bluff）在唬骗技能中投入足够的技能点，便可以获得后述能力。
5点：只要前一次唬骗检定没有失败5点或更多，则对生物再次进行唬骗的减值减半。

15点：若有生物以魔法手段阅读你的思想、侦测你的阵营、或者揭示你是否在撒谎的话，它必须尝试一次施法者等级检定（DC = 11 + 你在唬骗技能上投入的技能点），若失败的话便无法得知任何事情。
20点：以整轮动作，你能够对30尺内的一个生物进行一次暗示（suggestion；如同同名法术，至多持续1小时），对方要进行意志豁免，通过则无效（DC = 15 + 你的魅力调整值）。由于你的这种暗示而进行过豁免的生物，在接下来的24小时内会免疫该能力的重复使用，而且每当被暗示的生物看到可以证明自己被你所操纵的证据时，便会获得另一次豁免机会。这是一个特异影响心灵的胁迫效果（extraordinary mindaffecting compulsion）。
攀爬（Climb）在攀爬技能中投入足够的技能点，便可以获得后述能力。
5点：你在攀爬时不再会失去敏捷加值。

10点：即便你没有寻找陷阱（Trapfinding），也能够通过承受-10减值来解除魔法陷阱。若你具有寻找陷阱能力，那么当你尝试解除魔法陷阱时，绝不会触发它，即便你已经执行了触发陷阱的动作也是如此（比如直视徽记）。若检定失败，你仍旧能够触发陷阱，而且你无法使用该能力来忽略陷阱。
15点：当你被陷阱攻击时，你能够以直觉动作尝试一次解除装置检定（加上你的陷阱感知加值，如果有的话），来对抗陷阱的攻击检定或者豁免DC。若检定成功，你就可以使伤害减半（若你的检定结果比DC高至少10点，则不会受到伤害）。
20点：当你执行技能解放中5点技能点所叙述的快速解除方式时，你所承受的减值减半。若你具有寻找陷阱能力，并且承受-20减值来进行上文中15点技能点所叙述的能力时，所有周边（nearby）的盟友也会从中获益，而且如果你的检定结果比DC高至少10点，便能够以直觉动作在陷阱被触发前接触掉它。

Skill Unlocks
Skill unlocks give characters new abilities and ways to use their skills upon reaching 5, 10, 15, and 20 ranks in a skill. Any character with the Signature Skill feat (see below) can earn skill unlocks for a single skill, and they are a prime feature of the revised version of the rogue from Chapter 1 (see page 20), who uses her rogue’s edge ability to gain skill unlocks for several of her most iconic skills. Alternatively, you might make skill unlocks a universal part of the game, but you should be aware they add significant power and flexibility to skills, so giving them for free to all classes would grant power boosts to other highly skilled classes such as the investigator and bard, particularly in comparison to the rogue. Another alternative is to eliminate access to the Signature Skill feat, limiting skill unlocks to rogues and rogues alone.
Signature Skill (General)
Your ability with a particular skill is the stuff of legends, and you can do things with that skill that others cannot.
Prerequisite: 5 ranks in the chosen skill.
Benefit: Choose one skill. You gain the ability listed in that skill’s 5 Ranks entry. As you gain more ranks in the chosen skill, you gain additional abilities. If you have 10 or more ranks in the chosen skill, you gain the appropriate abilities immediately. If your chosen skill is Craft, Knowledge, Perform, or Profession, you gain the listed powers only for one category of that skill, such as Craft (bows). This feat can be taken only once, but it stacks with the rogue’s edge ability and the cutting edge rogue talent.
Acrobatics
With sufficient ranks in Acrobatics, you earn the following.
5 Ranks: You can move at normal speed through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity by increasing the DC of the check by 5 (instead of by 10). You aren’t denied your Dexterity bonus when attempting Acrobatics checks with DCs of 20 or lower.
10 Ranks: You can attempt an Acrobatics check at a –10 penalty and use the result as your CMD against trip maneuvers. You can also attempt an Acrobatics check at a –10 penalty in place of a Ref lex save to avoid falling. You must choose to use this ability before the trip attempt or Ref lex save is rolled. With a successful DC 20 Acrobatics check, you treat an unintentional fall as 10 feet shorter plus 10 feet for every 10 by which you exceed the DC, and treat an intentional fall as 10 feet shorter for every 10 by which you exceed the DC.
15 Ranks: You do not provoke attacks of opportunity when standing up from prone.
20 Ranks: You double the result of any Acrobatics check when jumping and never fall prone at the end of a fall as long as you remain conscious.
Appraise
With sufficient ranks in Appraise, you earn the following.
5 Ranks: A successful DC 20 Appraise check reveals whether an item is magical, and a second check (DC = 25 + the item’s caster level) unveils its properties. You can use Appraise to detect non-written forgeries and counterfeits.
10 Ranks: You can determine the most expensive object a creature is wearing or wielding (or in a 5-foot cube) as a standard action by succeeding at a DC 20 check. You never make a wildly inaccurate appraisal of an item’s value.
15 Ranks: Determining the most expensive object as above is a move action. You can substitute an Appraise check at a –10 penalty for a Will save to disbelieve a figment or glamer.
20 Ranks: Determining the most expensive object as above is a move action, and if the check succeeds, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on combat maneuver checks to steal that object or disarm a creature of that object for 1 minute.
Bluff
With sufficient ranks in Bluff, you earn the following.
5 Ranks: The penalty to Bluff a creature after a failed check is halved unless you failed by 5 or more.
