 The skills in Serenity RPG have two levels - a basic general level (which applies up to a d6), and a specialty (which must be chosen) that allows for a skill to go beyond a d8 level. The specialties column gives a number of sample specialities, but potentially there are an infinite number of specialities that can be selected.

Where a character does not have a skill at times a roll of the attribute only may suffice. So for instance a character without a listen skill may roll their Awareness trait alone instead to try and overhear a converstaion.
There are a number of skills that only skilled individuals can use (they have at least some skill ranks), and these do not default to the trait only. These skills are marked with an * above in the table.
