| <pre>4.16 SKILLS
| | '''Skills''' represent a group of abilities you know or your mastery of a single ability in [[Aetherius]]. |
| | |
| Much of your life in Imperian will revolve around your skills. Skills are
| |
| either sets of abilities or a single ability representing how well you do
| |
| something (like dodge arrows and sword blows, for instance). Typing SKILLS will
| |
| list which ones you have, and typing HELP <skillname> will give you some more
| |
| information on each skill. Furthermore, many skills have anywhere from 20 to 50
| |
| abilities within the skill. An ability could be an individual spell, or
| |
| something like a particular type of kick or swordstroke.
| |
| | |
| You'll notice, when you type SKILLS that next to the name of each skill will
| |
| be a word, like Inept. This word indicates your general proficiency in that
| |
| skill. As your proficiency in that skill increases, you will gain more
| |
| abilities, in the case of skills which have abilities in them, or you will
| |
| grow better at whatever that skill represents. For instance, as you increase
| |
| your Philosophy, you will take less and less damage from attacks on your mind
| |
| (psionic attacks). The word next to your skill will also change, indicating
| |
| your increased mastery of that skill. To see a list of skill ranks, type HELP | |
| SKILLRANKS.
| |
| | |
| You will notice that when you type SKILLS, mention is made of both skills and
| |
| 'miniskills'. Miniskills differ from skills only in that they take far fewer
| |
| lessons to master (see HELP LESSONS).
| |
| | |
| Though the general skills that you start off with are useful, it is the
| |
| guild-specific skills that make up the core of your character. To gain these
| |
| sets of skills, all of which will have many abilities in them, you will need
| |
| to join a guild. You may read more about guilds and classes in section 8.0.
| |
| | |
| In order to see what abilities you have in a skill (if there are, indeed, any
| |
| abilities in that particular skill), typing AB <skillname> will let you see
| |
| them. After that, typing AB <skillname> <ability name> will give you help,
| |
| generally speaking, on that individual ability. In addition, typing in AB
| |
| <skillname> FULL, you will be able to see all the abilities in that skillset.
| |
| Abilities that you do not have will be listed in red.
