Skill Mechanics

This page addresses the rules and uses for Skills and Specializations. For a list of all Skills, please see the Skills List page.

• Skills are used by Characters to perform actions, such as healing allies or attacking enemies. When a Character wants to perform an action, their Skill set will determine what they are good at and the rank in those Skills will dictate exactly how effective they are. The selection and progression of a Character's Skills are completely controlled by the Player, making the Skill build a major factor in every Character's abilities and playstyle.

During longer-running stories, the Director may wish to forgo the process of gaining XP every game, opting instead to grant a larger bulk reward when the overall story is complete. This can be for many reasons, most notably keeping the Characters consistent throughout the story so the Director will not have to rebalance the adventure each session.
