Skills Overview

Skill Points

Characters have a number of skill points based on their race and their class levels.

Depending on a characters' race and class, some skills are "class skills" and some skills are "cross-class skills" Cross-class skills require 2 skill points per rank, class skills require 1 skill point per rank.

The maximum number of ranks a character can have in a class skill is equal to that character's level +3. The maximum ranks a character can have in a cross-class skill is half that number.

Starting skill points for the basic character classes are:
