Skills

Each skill has both a cost next to the name and a brief description. A more comprehensive explanation of the skills is in the links at the bottom of the overview. Costs for skills are fixed; the prices are the same at character creation as they are later in the game. Skill names followed by an asterisk (*) indicate that the skill may be purchased multiple times at the same cost.

Through the purchases of skills, the character then possesses the expertise needed to perform the associated action. Those skills that may be purchased multiple times will include whatever benefits come from additional ranks. All Skills that grant the use of equipment also allow the character to conduct standard repairs on that equipment, if it’s Shattered. By spending 10 minutes of work and (the CP value x 5) credits, a character may repair a single item they are skilled in the use of. Engineering and Ritual Magic allow characters to repair all items that don’t require a skill to use.

Armor Skills

Armor is the broad term used to describe protective gear; it does not require the character to conform to a medieval concept and may encompass styles from fantasy through science fiction. Though the physical representation of armor can differ, all armor must be present in costume and must be approved by a safety staff member at character sign in. Armor phys reps must cover the torso of the player at minimum, or provide equivalent coverage over the body. The equipping of armor inhibits the use of any called dodges and the quickness path that the character may possess. Armor must be worn to grant the associated points in armor. All armors apply bonuses from the Constitution stat as well as the Armor Skill Path. As a final note, a character wearing a helmet is immune to the skill Waylay.
