Below, skills are sorted by controlling attribute. Modifiers to an attribute also apply to the skills it controls. Thus, permanently
improving an attribute raises all skills based on it by the same number of levels – a cheap way to improve many skills at once!
Skill: Skill’s name. A dagger (†) means you must select a specialty; see the skill description.
Difficulty: Column used for pricing on the Skill Cost Table, p. 11
Defaults: Level used by those without points in the skill. “None” means such use is impossible. “Special” requires a look at the
skill write-up.
Page: Where to find the skill in Adventurers.
Notes: Prerequisites for spending points on the skill – possibly including membership in a profession!
