Now we shift our focus to Naruni Wave Two (pg. 51). The issue that gives me pause is in the Robot Combat & Piloting block of text. One of the entries is a +15% bonus to Prowl and (here's the meat of the issue) +5% to Conceal.

Is there a conceal skill, or just saving a couple keystrokes off of Concealment?

I think concealment is the one referenced.

I'll just overthink this, and step up to defend what is likely a typo:

"Prowl" is the verb for when you use the "Prowl" skill.
"Conceal" is the verb for when you use the "Concealment" skill.

So it's grammatically correct if the bonuses are not to the specific skills, but to the actions.

It's not a "+15% bonus to the Prowl Skill" or to the "Concealment Skill," but to the action.
Which would mean that if you're trying to prowl or conceal, but do NOT have the skill, you'd still get the bonus.

If you have a PP of 15, for example, you could default the skill check at 30% (15 from PP, 15 from this bonus).
