Category:Skills

Much of your life in Lusternia will revolve around your skills. Skills are either sets of abilities or a single ability representing how well you do something (like dodge arrows and sword blows, for instance). Typing SKILLS will list which ones you have, and typing HELP  will give you some more information on each skill. Furthermore, many skills have anywhere from 20 to 50 abilities within the skill. An ability could be an individual spell, or something like a particular type of kick or swordstroke.

You'll notice, when you type SKILLS that next to the name of each skill will be a word, like Inept. This word indicates your general proficiency in that skill. As your proficiency in that skill increases, you will gain more abilities, in the case of skills which have abilities in them, or you will grow better at whatever that skill represents. The word next to your skill will also change, indicating your increased mastery of that skill. To see a list of skill ranks, see HELP SKILLRANKS.

Though the general skills that you start off with are useful, it is the class-specific skills that make up the core of your character. To gain these sets of skills, all of which will have many abilities in them, you will need to select a class.

In order to see what abilities you have in a skill (if there are, indeed, any abilities in that particular skill), typing AB  will let you see them and how many lessons it will take to learn the next skill. After that, typing AB  will give you help, generally speaking, on that individual ability.

AB PERCENTAGES will let you see how much of each skill you have learned and SKILLS ACTIVE will help you see which skills you have active.
