Attributes & Skills
The following table gives descriptions of Attributes and Skills. Each character has a number of skill points that they may use at character creation to choose starting skills. You can choose to Train or Specialize skills, which will make you more powerful at higher levels. As you gain in levels, you will earn more skill points which you can use to train new skills at a later time. Skills must be specialized at the time of character creation. Formulas for your skill level are based on your attributes which you can raise directly by spending earned experience on them. Additional skill points are earned at levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125
