			==Group Skills==
			Some skills can be performed as Group Skills (and a few must be performed as Group Skills). A group skill is led by a character with the skill, but other characters can assist them to improve the effect.

			Group skills take at least one minute to perform. If you want to perform a group skill on an unwilling target then inform a ref and they'll brief you on any requirements and adjudicate.

			If you are participating in but not leading a group skill and you stop roleplaying, your contribution is lost from the result and you cannot rejoin, but the skill can continue.
