Category:Skills

Skills are the things that the character has learned, either by hard study in a library and explanation or by physical training and application. They cover things such as the ability to recognise magical items and wield a sword with greater skill. Some skills are 'special' in the way that they are designed by players. Examples are Blacksmithing and Scroll Lore.

The rank system

The majority of the following Skills are divided into 4 Skill Ranks. These ranks are : -

Rank 1

The character in only an Apprentice in this skill. learning the basic of the craft, but not necessarily from a master, but some times due to their own initiative.

Rank 2

The character has learned all he can basics of their craft, and has become a Journeyman of this craft. He now attempts to learn about his craft by application.

Rank 3

The character has learned enough of this skill about equal to be able to become a teacher to some-one who knows nothing of the skill.

Rank 4

The character is now an Expert in their skill, they have learned as much as they can about their craft as they can. From now on they must begin to innovate to gain further knowledge...

Master of Skills

In order to become a Master of a skill, a player must already possess Rank IV and spend 50 XP (or the cost of Rank V if that is more expensive). This is done completely with referee approval. The actual effects of a Mastery skill varies from Master to Master and should be discussed with a referee before the player is able to purchase the mastery. Some examples of Masteries are written on individual skill pages.
