Skills

File:Placeholder

Skills are more specific abilities that your character can learn. All characters in this game share 18 broad skills, which determine your success at most actions outside of combat, and many actions within combat. Each skill uses a proficiency check modifier dependent on an ability base (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma). Certain actions may be performed by any character (trained or no), while other actions may only be performed by trained characters.
