Although I sometimes wish they did. Or at least, that I had some idea what a human "walk" skill was.
Why?
Well, there we were in a fight (this is the Humakti lot, we tend to do this from time to time).
My PC kept getting hit. A lot. -5 on all actions: not too bad. -10 on all actions: this is getting unpleasant. -15.... hmmm.
Now, I know how good she is at fighting under these circumstances. I take her CC, add any augments, subtract 15, and feel worried. Still higher than 6, but not good. She's still in the fight, but won't be bidding high.
But once that fight's over: it seemed obvious to me as a roleplayer that without benefit of adrenaline, she can barely stand up. She *should* be rolling against her Walk skill to get out of danger. It didn't matter enormously this time, so we just did some dramatic description and left the dice out of it. But if it did matter: what is the default human "walk" skill? (Before augments from "tough", "ignore pain" and similar things).
