Skills List

All standard skills can be chosen at character creation or learned later on, provided the character meets the prerequisites and hasn’t reached their points cap.

Skill descriptions include the following details:

• Type: There are two broad levels of skill: general skills, which anyone can learn at any time, and archetype skills, which are specific to one or more of the four archetypes, creator, magician, scout and warrior. Characters can learn skills outside their own archetype, but are limited in how many points they can spend on them.
• Use: Not every skill can be used equally readily. Some skills are permanent and constantly active; some need to be activated, but can be used at will; some can be used once per day or twice per day. Some cost work units or magic points to use, instead of having a specified number of uses; the number of work units or magic points a character receives per day is partly based on the number of these skills they know.
• Cost: The cost in experience points to choose the skill at character creation or through experience. Skills can alternatively be trained at a cost in study units, which doesn’t cost experience, but the point value is still added to the character’s total, counting against their points cap.
• Prerequisites: Most archetype skills have other skills as prerequisites. Some have multiple prerequisites (e.g. Demonology requires both Elemental Spellcasting and Spiritual Spellcasting), while some have alternative prerequisites (e.g. Chameleon requires knowledge of either Ranger or Scoundrel).
• Progression: Many skills are, in turn, prerequisites for other skills, listed here for reference.
