Skill System

Skills have the following rankings:

Rank Points Needed
Untrained 0
Novice 5
Apprentice 10
Trained 13
Expert 15
Master 20
Grand Master 25

All characters have access to “untrained” skills. You can train up to a limit depending upon which experience tier you’re currently at :

  • Heroic: you can train skills up to Expert
  • Paragon: you can train skills up to Master
  • Epic: you can train skills up to Grand Master

If a character’s skill is the same rank (or above) the rank of the task, it is automatically passed. For instance, a character ranked expert in a given skill will automatically succeed a task ranked expert or lower. If a character’s skill is one rank lower than the task, he must pass a check with a difficulty level of 15. If a character’s skill rank is two ranks lower than the task, then it is impossible for the character to do.
