This skill allows you to exert very
little pressure when you walk. On a
successful Light Walk roll, you leave
no visible tracks. Tracking rolls to fol-
low you automatically fail unless they
rely on something more than sight;
thus, a human tracker would be baf-
fled, but bloodhounds would suffer no
penalty at all.
You can also attempt to walk over
fragile
surfaces
without
falling
through. Maximum Move under such
circumstances is 1/3 normal (GM’s
decision). Thin ice would require an
unmodified Light Walk roll, while rice
paper would require a roll at -8!
Finally, a successful Light Walk roll
can give a bonus to Stealth when your
intention is to move quietly. This
bonus equals half your margin of suc-
cess, rounded down. Minimum bonus
is +1.
