You can gain Skill Proficiencies, mainly from your History choices, and sometimes your Lineage. When you make a Check that would involve a Skill that you have Proficiency in, you double the Stat that you are adding to the Check (minimum +2 total).
You can gain Skill Proficiencies, mainly from your History choices, and sometimes your Lineage. When you make a Check that would involve a Skill that you have Proficiency in, you double the Stat that you are adding to the Check (minimum +2 total). Each Stat apart from Lore has 3 Skills generally relating to it, however there are many scenarios where Stats can be used with other Stats, some examples of which will be shown in the description of each Skill.
<br>
*'''Athletics (Might):''' Athletics represents the general physical abilities of a Creature, such as climbing, running, jumping, etc.
*'''Endurance (Might):''' Endurance represents the physical endurance of a Creature, such as enduring a storm, traveling a long distance, or staying on the ball without rest.
*'''Intimidation (Might):''' Intimidation represents the ability to coerce others. This is one of the most common Skills to use other Stats for. Might would represent being physically imposing or maybe breaking a chair over your head to startle your target. If you use Resolve, you might try to break your target's will by your own iron resilience.
*'''Acrobatics (Agility):''' Acrobatics represents the general whole-body dexterity and motor-function of a Creature, used for acts such as swinging from branch to branch or doing backflips. Using Might for Acrobatics might be used for parkour.
*'''Dexterity (Agility):''' Dexterity represents a Creature's fine motor skills, used for acts like picking a lock, or pickpocketing someone. Using Resolve for this Skill might represent performing mental gymnastics to try and prove a point that isn't obviously true.
*'''Stealth (Agility):''' Stealth represents a Creature's ability to silence their movements.
*'''Chase (Speed):''' Chase represents a Creature's ability to move quicker than normally possible and serves often as a Contested Check, allowing Creature's to see who moves quicker, such as when trying to race to an artifact.
*'''Escape (Speed):'''
*'''Reflex (Speed):'''
*'''Insight (Instinct):'''
*'''Search (Instinct):'''
*'''Tracking (Instinct):'''
*'''Deception (Resolve):'''
*'''Diplomacy (Resolve):'''
*'''Grit (Resolve):'''

Lore Skills are often gained from either Feats or Histories. They are far more specific, such as Nobility Lore, Smithing Lore, or a Lore about a specific city. These allow your Character to recall information about the specific information you have a Lore for much more easily.
