Editing FANGS: Using Skills (section)

==Skill Ranks==

Each of your character's skills is represented by a number. The higher the number, the better the skill. 

A skill of 0 means the character has no knowledge of, talent for, or any experience with that particular skill. In fact, a character with a skill of 0 doesn't even know where to begin! 

Skills ranked from 1 to 4 are that of a raw beginner to that of an apprentice. The character knows the basics of the skill just enough to perform it, or be dangerous with it! 

A skill between 5 and 8 means that the character has learned a basic competency with the skill. However, their use of the skill would still be considered below average of that of someone who uses that skill daily, or in their profession. 

Skills ranked from 9-11 are just average for a professional or performing this skill on a regular basis -- most folk never exceed this amount of skill. 

A skill of 12 to 14 means that the character shows some talent with the skill, though nothing that might be considered extraordinary. 

Someone with a skill between 15 and 17 would be considered an expert at that skill, and occasionally shows extraordinary ability or flashes of insight when using the skill. 

A character with a skill of 18 or 19 would be considered a master of that particular skill. Those that know of that skill might seek the character for service and instruction. 

A 20 represents a skill that has been learned to the level of a grand master. There ae few, if any, with greater skill. 

A skill of 21 or higher would be considered legendary, or even mythical. Though still within mortal bounds, tales of the character's prowess in that skill might live long after he is gone.
