====Skills====
 
List of skills:
 
 
*'''Craft:''' Crafting things, includes building, assembling, or creating stuff.
 
*'''Drive:''' Steeds and wagons/carriages. Requires specialization for flight or sailing.
 
*'''Fight:''' All kinds of close-combat, including weapons or fists.
 
*'''Fix:''' Repairing things.
 
*'''Focus:''' Concentrating on something, to study or steel your will or whatever.
 
*'''Influence:''' Making others do, think, act, or feel the way you want them to.
 
*'''Know:''' General knowledge and recall. Use specialties to cover specific areas: Business, Navigation, Religion, Animals, Fine Arts.
 
*'''Labor:''' Carrying out tasks of manual labor, lifting, pushing, digging, pulling, hauling.
 
*'''Move:''' Running, jumping, climbing trees.
 
*'''Notice:''' Spotting, sensing, or hearing things.
 
*'''Operate:''' Using gadgets and devices. Requires specialization or an appropriate Distinction.

'''Drive''' and '''Operate''' are special cases. Every PC is competent at riding a steed or driving a wagon/carriage. Sailing or Flying require specialization, though. You'll have d4 in them if you attempt to sail or fly without a background in it. For Operate: in Eberron, items which would need to be operated are specialized items, therefore people who "operate" things would be specialists.
 
 
*'''d4: Untrained.''' You have no idea what you’re doing, and you’re likely to create trouble when you try it, but who knows.
 
*'''d6: Competent.''' Sufficient training to get by. You’re comfortable doing this.
 
*'''d8: Expert.''' Able to do this for a living. This is second nature to you.
 
*'''d10: Master.''' One of the best in the field. Likely known to others who possess the skill.
 
*'''d12: Grandmaster.''' One of the best in the world. Known even to those outside the field.
 
 
By default, PCs in this game are competent at all things, and expert in a few, which expertise partially defines them.
 
 
 
====Hero Dice as Effect Dice====
 
====Hero Dice as Effect Dice====
 
With this mod, hero dice may also be spent to substitute for low effect dice from dice rolls. Used this way, the player spends a plot point and uses the hero die as the effect die instead of one of the dice from the roll. If this application of hero dice is used in a game, the heroic success does not also step up this new effect die. That only applies to effect dice sourced from the die roll itself.

*[https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/cortex-prime-learning-and-application.861270/post-23218172 design comment from Angille:] as for the impact of the spell, the rating of the effect matters imo.
 
**a d6 for a simple suggestion, d10 for a command, d12+ for full-on mind-control.
 
**a d6 for an icy bolt, d10 for a minor blizzardy effect, d12+ to encase in a block of ice.
 
**a d6 to pick up someone's trail, d10 to see and hear them, d12+ for a peek into their past and future.
