Zombie Skills

Bold skills are usable by survivors.
*Starred* skills are prerequisites of skills usable by survivors.

Skill	Usable?	Comments
*Scent Fear*	No effect	Must be purchased in order to get Scent Death.
Scent Blood	No effect	The Survivor skill Diagnosis is similar to Scent Blood. The main differences are that zombies can use either Scent Blood or Diagnosis, while survivors can't use Scent Blood; and Scent Blood reveals infections, while Diagnosis doesn't. (Survivors can NOT use Scent Blood to detect infections.)
Scent Trail	No effect
Scent Death	Usable	Allows survivors to distinguish between normal corpses and revivifying bodies. The action 'Scent Death' can't be used though.
Digestion	No effect	Survivors can't bite anyway.
Infectious Bite	No effect	Survivors can't bite anyway.
Vigour Mortis	No effect
Neck Lurch	No effect	Survivors can't bite anyway.
Death Grip	No effect	Survivors don't have claws.
Rend Flesh	No effect	Survivors don't have claws.
Tangling Grasp	No effect	Survivors don't have claws.
Feeding Drag	No effect
Memories of Life	No effect	Survivors don't need to open doors.
Death Rattle	No effect	Survivors can speak normally without this.
Feeding Groan	No effect
Ransack	No effect
Flailing Gesture	No effect
*Lurching Gait*	No effect	Survivors can move for 1 AP without this. Must be purchased in order to get Ankle Grab. It is, however, useful for any dead survivor traveling to a revival point.
Ankle Grab	Usable	Allows survivors to stand up for 1 AP.
*Brain Rot*	Counter-effect	It makes becoming a survivor again after being killed extremely difficult, and some survivors will even kill survivors with Brain Rot as a zombie spy. Must be purchased before Flesh Rot.
Flesh Rot	Usable	Has the same effect as Bodybuilding and a flak jacket, but doesn't stack, however the disadvantages of Brain Rot probably counter the benefits.
