Skills
From Lovelace
- If you're looking for the basic rules you should start with the Quickstart Rules.
Skills are a major way in which you customise your character, deciding what special skills they have that set them apart from others.
Skills are divided into Disciplines and General skills. They are also divided into Combat and Profession skills.
Combat skills are directly usable in combat or for survival. Profession skills are rarely useful in combat and are used in investigation, problem solving or social interactions.
You can take skills for any Discipline that you've unlocked, but some skills are Signature skills. You can only choose Signature skills of your Primary Discipline.
