Category:Skills & Abilities

In attempting various courses of action, different skills or fields of knowledge may come into play. In such cases, success or failure will generally depend on a combination of stats and skills. There are four fundamental skill sets: action skills, combat skills, crafting skills, and magic skills.

You may see your character's existing skills with the command SKILLS, or view all available skills by typing SKILLS ALL.

Learning Skills

Each character begins with a number of skill points that can be assigned in character generation. Everyone receives a base number of stat points, modified by the character's age. This represents the greater life experience of older characters and the longer opportunity they have had to develop a variety of skills.

In order to learn skills after character generation, you first need to earn some experience through roleplaying. You can then spend those experience points to learn skills in one of three different ways: learning from a teacher (PC or NPC), practicing or training, or actively using the skill.
