Editing Arabian Nights:Fundamentals (section)

==Skill==

Skill represents a character’s skill with his hands.  A character with amazing skill might be a master swordfighter, a consummate thief, or an expert bronzeworker.  Skill is a funny characteristic.  It represents all sort of things, from lockpicking to sailing, and so has a few rules to go with it.

Not everyone can use their skill characteristic to the same level on every task.  Any particular character will generally only know a few of the following skills:

Craftsman
Horseman
Sailor
Warrior
Thief

If a character does not possess a particular skill, he is treated as having no more than humble skill (regardless of what his true attribute is).  If a character does possess a certain skill, he uses his full attribute.
