Manipulation

Some skill uses require a degree of fine physical manipulation. You need prehensile limbs and a Strength score or some suitable substitute (such as a Precise Move Object FX) to use manipulation skills effectively. Characters lacking the ability to use manipulation skills can still have ranks in them and use them to oversee the work of others (with bonuses from Team Checks).
Characters can grant themselves bonuses on Manipulation skills with a successful Finesse check.
===Tools Required ===
Some Manipulation skills require specialized tools, such as lockpicks to open a door with Infiltration or an adequate lab to mix chemicals with Science. Attempting such a check without the proper tools imposes 2 penalties on the check.
