[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3931648, member: 8314"] [B]Skill Level Modifier[/B] -10 Completely unknown -5 Inexperienced / Untrained 0 Trained / Adept +2 Skilled +5 Expert Without class and race, think of every protocharacter as essentially a chump. Every action is either untrained or completely unknown. The description of class and race are what make some things skilled and trained. This means you can define classes and races in words, which I think is cool (and which I'm working on). I'm a fighter. What does that mean? I'm skilled with fighting in heavy weapons and armor. That means that if I'm in heavy armor and someone's swinging at me, I've got the +2 to my Fortitude action. I'm a wizard. What does that mean, qua heavy armor? Gosh. I have no idea about defending with heavy armor. I mean, I've seen the fighter do it, but I'm basically at -5 for any such action. I'm a cleric. I'm capable of using heavy armor and untrained in light/no armor. I'd better grab some so at least I'm not at the -5 like I am when naked. I'm a thief. I'm capable in light armor. That's what I'll be wearing. As for light weapons - it's like anything else. What stat works best with that? Well a rapier or a dagger - that's a Reflex action. Sniping with a heavy crossbow? Could be Insight. This is a GM-makes-the-call kind of lite but it's "do what's reasonable". [/QUOTE]
