Narrow Escape ability tree
Whether a smuggling deal has gone south or the authorities see through the ship's fake transponder code, Smugglers frequently find themselves in a position where they need to make a getaway—and fast.

BASE ABILITY[]
Once per game session, the character may spend two Destiny Points to make a Hard difficulty Streetwise check. If [they] succeed, the character immediately flees from the current personal-scale combat encounter unscathed. The challenge is not overcome or defeated, but the character evades the hazard or threat for the time being. The exact nature of what the character is trying to accomplish, as well as the end results, must be approved by the GM.
When making the skill check to activate Narrow Escape, the GM can add a boost die or setback die for any situational effects that might cause the check to be easier or more difficult.
