Hack the planet (sorry for taking such a softball line, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Hackers)

Three-armed guards would probably be in very high demand, depending how functional the extra arm was

Why should I know this? Why shouldn’t I be suspicious of you linking to a website domain which is basically the same as your username?

Ah, the mythical land urchin. Now I just need sky urchins and my collection will be complete.

Only if the roll made is an attack roll. As OP says, pouring out a flask doesn’t require an attack, nor does lighting something with a tinderbox. In fact neither of these should require any roll at all.

I’m going by 2014 rules, but what constitutes an attack is actually pretty strict. Basically, there must be an attack roll of some kind, or the rules for that action must specifically describe it as an attack, for it to actually be an attack.
