Semaphore & Flag Codes(Communications) by Taalismn
This is the ability to recognize and read semaphore/flag communications systems(that rely on the position of positionable armatures and/or flags) to visually transmit information line of sight, and which were prevalent before the advent of telegraphs and radio(and are still used where those aren't available/working, as in at sea). The character can read internationally recognized/standardized codes(such as nautical flag codes) and knows the proper protocols for recording the positions in unknown code systems(determining patterns and cracking them for meaning will require the Encryption/Cryptography skill).
- Base Skill: 60% + 5% per level of experience.
