Skills
Skills include abilities, talents and powers. Collectively they're all just given the name “skills” for simplicity.
Class Skills
- A marked skill (
is always at the same level as the character. How skills work is - they are compared to the obstacle, if they equal it or exceed it, the obstacle is overcome - If multiple players do a task together, add their skills together. This basically means that lots of NRPs (Non-Roleplaying Players) with basic classes, can do the task of a character that has progression. Two Green = one Adventurer. Two Adventurer = one Veteran.
- NRPs are always regarded as Green level
- Noisy skills alert everyone
