Skills

Character Skills

Skills are miscellaneous abilities of a character, such as being able to hunt more efficiently or identify a plant.

At any point, the GM might ask for a skill roll against a success threshold from a player. When making a skill roll, the following formula is used:

  • 1d10 + skill value + bonuses

Characters gain a set amount of skill points on each level up, and they gain an additional point for every two aptitude points spent on control. A character can earn 20 SP from gaining levels and up to 5 SP from their control aptitude. This means a character can have up to 25 SP in total. These points can be spent on a skill to increase its value by one. A skill can be increased only once per level.

Points gained per level are given in this table:

Level Gained SP
1 +2
2 +2
3 +2
4 +2
5 +2
6 +2
7 +2
8 +2
9 +2
10 +2
