Cross Training (Physical) by Mephisto

Note that this skill costs three skill selections for other characters, but only two for a Physical, Hunter/Vigilante and Secret Operative character. Must be part of a Skill Program, cannot be selected as a secondary skill.

This skill is designed to increase several abilities of the character though a cross section of skills, including endurance running, sprinting, throwing, and resistance lifting. The bonuses individually aren't as impressive as a more dedicated skill, but the cumulative bonuses are usually favorable.

Character bonuses:

+1D4+2 to P.S.
+2 to P.P.
+1D4+1 to P.E.
+1D6+2 to Spd.
+2D6 to S.D.C.

As well, the character is naturally more athletic, and gets +2 to Athletic Feats at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14. The character gets +1 to Maintain Balance at levels 2, 6, and 11, and +1 to Roll with Punch/Fall/Impact at level 1, 4, and 9.
