Some examples of advanced elements are: Flairs: These zoom in on character's abilities. Fields of Expertise: These replace the need for skills by generalizing occupational knowledge. Convictions: These expand on the basic concept of Principles (in Basic Exploits) by utilizing Revelation and Dementia. Threads: These define group dynamics and help encourage more character-oriented roleplaying. Vehicles: Rules for using vehicles, from motorcycles to starships. ===Live Exploits=== These are guidelines from the Basic and Advanced Exploits sections which are optimized for live action role-playing. ===Adaptive Exploits (Special Edition Softcover only)=== A framework for converting characters from other game systems for use with Active Exploits, and adapting other ability/skill-based systems for diceless play. ===Other features=== Setting Specifics, which add new rules for magic and the occult, and martial arts. ==External links== Active Exploits Review on RPG.net
