==Skills [[file:d4a.png|32px|d4]][[File:Arrow03.png|24px]]==
Skills are broad areas of ability that characters have and are rated by die size. Skills start at [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] unless they are a highlighted skill. Players have nine points to spend on their character's highlighted skills. For one point the skill starts at [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] for two points it starts at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] for  three points it starts at [[file:d10a.png|24px|d10]] and for four points it starts at [[file:d12a.png|24px|d12]] Skills may not be raised above [[file:d12a.png|24px|d12]] You must start with at least three highlighted skills and may go to a maximum of nine. 

Once highlighted skills are selected, you have another nine points to distribute among all your skills. Raising a skill from [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] to [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] at this stage costs two points. Raising a skill already at [[file:d6a.png|24px|d6]] or higher costs one point per step raised to a maximum rating of [[file:d12a.png|24px|d12]].
