-===== Special Abilities =====
-With each Rank you select one Special Ability. Some Special Abilities have a pool that limits the number of times the ability may be used in a campaign turn. If this pool is based on a skill, use only your base skill to determine the pool. It is unaffected by drugs, cyberware, toxins, etc. Unless otherwise stated, you may only take each ability a maximum of once.
-**Special Ability Chart:** On the next four pages((50-53 of the printed manual.)) is a color-coded chart (index below) that will help you decide which Special Ability to choose for your character.

-| @#8D008D: | Denotes a Psionic Ability |
-==== Psionics ====
-Some feats are amazing. Others stretch beyond the bounds of science. Generally, abilities that do something that looks otherwise impossible are psionic.
-A "Brutal" character can be very effective albeit mundane by rerolling his damage based on his training and talent. A "Prestidigitator" pulling stuff out of thin air or a "Slipster" moving through walls are using Psionics.
-Some Special Abilities require a Psionics skill check to use and/or have a pool based on Psionics. No Special Ability requires a Psionics skill unless they have a pool based on Psionics.
-Just like a character with a zero Piloting can try to fly the ship, a character with a zero Psionics (and the "Beguiler" ability) can try to Beguile an enemy.
-==== Retraining ====
-If you want to change one of your Special Abilities or your profession, you must spend one mission without it. After the mission, you may replace it with another.
-==== Sample Character Sheet ====
-^ SPECIAL ABILITIES ^^^^
-^ ABILITY ^ NOTES ^  POOL  ^  USED  ^
-| //Spacelegs// | //Ignore OOC// |  -  |  -  |
-| //Speed Demon// | //Reroll Accelerate/Decelerate// |  //Piloting x2 = 8//  | |
-| //Miracle Worker// | //Roll a 12 (and +1 Luck)// |  //1//  | |
-| //Unsinkable// | //Reroll Hull & Survival checks// |  //8//  | |
-Above is part of a character sheet for a Rank 4 character named Theo Retica who happens to be a pilot. There is no pool for Spacelegs. It just keeps working. Theo can use Speed Demon 8 times for Piloting checks to change Speed.
-One can also use it for Fighter movement but since Theo isn't planning on being on a fighter, I didn't bother writing that note down.
-Miracle Worker is a one time shot and Unsinkable gives Theo 10 rerolls on survival checks.
-The "Used" column is there so you can mark in pencil as Theo uses up the abilities that have a pool. Pools replenish after the campaign turn.
