New skills

### Athletics (Str)

This particular skill encompasses climb and Swim in one, a long with running and other such feats of strength. As a result Climb and Swim are no longer part of the system.

### Bluff (Cha)

Bluff has attained a new use in the world of Bleach.

**Hiding your Reiatsu:** Bluff can be used to hide your Reiatsu from prying
eyes. Whenever you desire, you may attempt to mask your Reiatsu as a standard
action. You can keep your Reiatsu hidden for as long as you wish, but you must
wait five minutes after dropping your Reiatsu suppression before you may make
another attempt to do so.

**Check:** While suppressing your Reiatsu, if someone makes a Sense Motive check to
sense you, compare the respective results. If your Bluff check is higher, they
fail to sense your Reiatsu entirely. The amount that they beat your check by is
how well they judged your Reiatsu. By each one point they exceed your check,
they uncover 10% of your apparent ability, so someone who only exceeds your
check by 1 will sense you at only one tenth of your true power, whereas someone
who exceeds your check by 10 or more will fully discern your level of power.

### Flash Step (Dex)

The ability to use high speed movement. If specialized
in, it can do quite a bit.

**Check:** When you wish to use high-speed movement, make a d20 roll and add your
Flash Step skill modifier. The DC for high speed movement is 2 per 5 feet
covered (IE to move 15 feet, it's a 6 DC, to move 100ft, it's a 40 DC). This is
considered a swift action.

**High Speed Dodge:** You may attempt to use Flash Step to aid you in
dodging your opponent’s attacks. Doing so requires a roll with a DC equal to
your opponent’s attack roll, success grants you a +1 dodge bonus to AC +1 additional per 5
ranks you have in flash step. This is an immediate action.

**Check:** Roll a d20 + Dex + Flash Step. If you’re within the threatened square of
an opponent, your check must beat their BaB by ten, or threaten an attack of
opportunity.

**Special:** You can't use flash step while your movement is impaired.

### Knowledge (Int)

These are the applicable knowledges one can chose from, in the world of Bleach.

techniques. Antiques, modern art, photography, and performance art forms such

### Intimidate (Cha)

Intimidate has received a new additional option, for
those with a reiatsu to speak of.
**Soul Crush:** In addition to its normal function, Intimidate allows you to
overwhelm foes with your Reiatsu. A Reiatsu surge can be initiated at any time
as a standard action.

**Check:** Make an intimidate check against your foe, who makes either an opposed
Intimidate or Level check (their choice). If you succeed, your opponent takes a
-2 penalty on all rolls for as many rounds as you won the check by. Also, for
every five points you exceed their roll by, they take another cumulative -2
penalty. If they defeat your roll, they throw off your surge by pushing back
with their own Reiatsu, causing you to become dazed for rounds equal to ½ the
amount they defeated your surge by rounded down, to a minimum of 1. You gain a +2 bonus to this check for every Reiatsu Bracket you're above your target. (Small to Moderate, and so on)

### Sense Motive (Wis)

The sense motive skill has been given a new addition,
it can now be used to sense the spiritual pressure of those around you.

**Sense Reiatsu:** Sense Motive can be used to feel Reiatsu, the spirit
cords. Reiatsu allows you to locate souls with great spiritual energy. This
acts as a feeling, a sense of power on the chart below based on Reiatsu Rating.

**Check:** When sensing for someone’s spirit energy, make a sense motive check. For
each number of the result, add 500 feet to the radius that sense extends
outward to (so a result of 10 would mean that you were able to sense all spirit
energy within 5000 feet of you).

A character can also sense the relative strength of a
person’s Spiritual Pressure
