Skills
Skills represent a party member’s knowledge and proficiency with that knowledge. Which skills
a character can learn and how knowledgeable they can become is dependent upon their chosen
class. These skills range from mystical arts, weapons and battle tactics to the intricacies of
alchemy.
There are 3 ranks to a skill that represents the character’s knowledge of that skill:
- Novice
- Expert
- Master
These ranks control what a character can do with that skill. For instance, a character who has
mastery in the Arcane Magic skill will have access to more powerful spells than a mage who
only understands the fundamentals of the skill. Refer to the Skills Mastery table (1) to see which
skills a class can learn and what rank they can attain.
To gain the next rank, a character will need to find the appropriate trainer and meet their requirements for training. The next measurement of a skill is the level. There are a total of 20 levels for each skill. This represents the character’s proficiency with that skill. To increase their proficiency, you will need to spend skill points that are gained during your adventurers. Spending of the skill points is an abstract of perfecting their use in that skill. The cost to raise a skill to the next level is equivalent to that level. For example, if your sword skill level is 18, you will need 19 skill points to raise the level to 19.
