At lvl39 this also extends to water.

Lvl10: dirt kick

Lvl13: Snap at 91% -- tangle – nomad casts whip around enemy weapon, and
has a chance to make attacks less forceful, less accurate, or to stop them
altogether

Lvl15: Wheedle (allows purchasing of items above the level of the purchaser, in a
fashion similar to how spellcraft boosts lvl)

Lvl16: cut at 91% -- tailor . Allows nomad to cut natural material armor into
a more useful shape. The effect being that dex and dodge skill are both raised
by 1%. This armor becomes nomad only though when such a modification is
made.

Lvl19: disarm

Lvl20: Gentlewalk

Lvl21: tailor at 91% -- sign ARG . Allows the nomad to mark a room in such
a fashion that only another nomad will see the mark. The argument can be a
direction (e.g. that the nomad left in), or a warning (e.g. danger to north) etc.

actually appear to be a different mark, or leave a mark that vanishes a tick
later instead of being permanent.

of causing a one round deafen)

will then follow him around and can carry things (though has to be handed
them). It can also drop things. It can carry a lot! More than other mercs etc.

Lvl26: Staff/spear mastery
Lvl26: Sand – when fighting in desert, each unsuccessful attack or
defense has a Moderate chance to instead be a flicking of sand into the face of
an enemy. It causes one tick of blindness like dirt kick, but is automatic.

Lvl27: Hand2Hand

Lvl28: Tame

Lvl29: Skin – allows the nomad to use the corpse of a dead animal (if large
enough) to form a protective cloak. This cloak, when worn, protects from
environments, including protecting inventory, to the extent that the nomad is
unharmed by firey environments, cold environments, and doesn’t lose moves
as a result of cold at night.

Lvl30: retreat

Lvl31: Disciple
Lvl31: disc fight

Lvl32: enhanced vision (allows nomad to scan further outdoors)

them and sending them staggering from the room in a random direction.

Lvl39: smoke signal. Allows deafened/dumb nomads to communicate. Has 4 rounds
of lag but can be done when blind. Can be seen in all surface areas. Must be

chance of dumping them into another attacker, lagging them both for one
round.
