Skill Ladder

This is the list of skills levels. You are assumed to be mediocre (+0) at everything unless stated otherwise:

• +8: Legendary
• +7: Epic
• +6: Fantastic
• +5: Superb
• +4: Great
• +3: Good
• +2: Fair
• +1: Average
• 0: Mediocre
• -1: Poor
• -2: Terrible
• -3 Abysmal

As mentioned before, PCs are capped at +5. They can't have skills that start higher than that.

Skill Pyramid

Basically, you must have more skills at one rung of the ladder then you can have at the next higher. So, you could have 1 good skill, 2 fair skills, and 3 average skills. You cannot have 2 fair and 2 average.
