The Spy Skill set is exactly what you'd think: a body of techniques to discover and discern information about a person. Hiding and listening, to interrogation through lying, to spying from a distance - it all belongs to Spy. Most of the actions that one can gleam from this Skill are considered hostile; therefore, those looking to make and keep friends might be better served putting their resources elsewhere.

Hide[]
Dominant Attribute: Insight
While the uninitiated believe that hiding is as simple as ducking behind a wall or slipping into a shadow, only a true initiate understands just how difficult hiding can be. There are so many ways to hide (such as hiding in plain sight, hiding by not hiding, hiding by misdirection, and hiding by blending in, to name a few) that one could quite possibly spend their entire life learning the trade and never quite perfect it.

Lie[]
Dominant Attribute: Insight
Must one tell the truth at all times? A question better left for those who study the Skill of Ethics, no doubt, but as to the actual action of lying, this is the proper place to put one's attentions and energy if speaking untruths is what one wishes to do. The Skill of Lie is a fairly easy one to master, though as with all morally questionable Skills, what knowledge comes from this arena may lead one down dangerous and hostile paths.

Lockpick[]
Dominant Attribute: Insight
Since the beginning of time, offense and defense have always traded positions as the most informed or the most utilized. When one person developed a door, another person developed a battering ram. When one person developed a moat, another person developed a bridge. When one person developed a lock, it was inevitable that another person would discover a way to pick that lock.
