Skills

Improving skills:

Each class improves their skills in a different manner. For the Soldier, their Hand to Hand skills improves faster than their computer skills, for the Analyst, their computer skills improves quickly. All the different skills are based on 7 categories. Each category as a set of skills tied to has an ability score (or scores) tied to it. Depending on your class you will get so many points for each category of skills based on your attribute score. To find your rating for each of the seven skill categories look at the list below. (Example, your hand to hand rating will be your Strength score, plus your constitution score divided by 2.)

Every level you multiply this rating by your class rating in each category.

For example: The soldier has a 1.00 rating in Hand to Hand. If your character has a strength of 7 and a constitution of 9 (7 + 9 / 2 = 8) then your HTH rating is 8. You then multiply 8 * 1.00 = 8.00. So each level up you gain 8 points to apply to hand to hand skills. (you can apply decimals to a skill also, but decimals are rounded down for die rolling purposes)
