A support specialist gets +10 to alertness. The description I've found for the skill mod is:
"The higher your alertness skill, the less likely it is that you will be taken off guard by a surprise attack."
Soooo... what? If a guy jumps out from behind a rock my character will automatically shoot him in the face? Or maybe when something attacks me my guy will say "Ah.. Just as I expected!"
Does anyone know what this skill mod actually does?

i realized that having commando and fencer + my being a mon-cal, gives me +35 alertness. probably the max you can have with no skill tapes if there are any like that.
ok gr8, but is this at all usefull?
i have not found exactry how it helps me. i read that "you will notice snipers" etc. what does this mean.
anyone?

What are the benefits of Alertness? What exactly does it do for your character?
Is having +20 alertness much much better than having +10?
Would it be worth a sacrafice or two to have +20 alertness?
Thanks for your help.

alertness, if i remember correctly, minimizes the chance of getting hit or taking serious damage from a surprise blow from ranged professions, like surprise shot, and things like that. as well as snipers using concealed shot. not sure if its worth the extra +. never tried it out

Alertness is the mod which increases the abilities to avoid certain ranged attacks such as:
- Conceal Shot
- Startling Shot
- Last Ditch
- Low Blow
The higher the number the less you are 'effected' by its affects.
