Guard

Ability to serve as a sentinel, watchman, or bodyguard. The Guard skill is used in place of PER for rolls to detect intruders and potential threats. It also includes knowledge such as how to patrol and stand watch effectively and how to challenge and evaluate strangers. Characters trained in this skill have some ability to physically defend others; they can parry (at Guard skill level) a blow intended for an ally standing next to them.
