	Active Skills do not have linked attributes. Instead, always use the attribute that is most appropriate to the context of the ~~test~~. The removal of linked attributes applies to skills used for combat purposes just as it does to any other skill. For example, if you’re using Unarmed Combat to perform a quick strike before the opposition can react, you would be rolling REA because that is the attribute most appropriate for this task. If you’re wailing away at a wall with a large club, you would be rolling STR or BOD because one of those attributes would be most appropriate for the task (note that damage codes would still be calculated with STR even if you also end up using STR for the skill ~~test~~).
