Chapter 3: System Primer – Skills

Skill Scaling

Skills can grant a bonus of up to 10% per rank to existing capabilities.

The bonusses from different skills stack multiplicatively.

Skill Progress and Upgrading

A skill’s progress is measured on a 0-100% scale.

A progress of 100% represents the skills full potential at its current rank.

For skills with lower ranked versions a progress of 0% represents the full potential of the skills previous rank. These skills normally start at a progress between 10% and 20%.

For skills without a previous rank a progress of 0% is the equivalent to not having the skill. These skills normally start at a progress between 50% and 80%.

Skill progress rises with use and gets harder to raise, the closer it is to 100%.

After reaching 100% progress skills can be upgraded by fulfilling skill specific conditions.

Innate Skills

Every creature has at least one innate skill, that stays somewhat dormant until they awaken their system. These skills can have any rank. Some of them are species specific and others are individual.
