Your Skills are descriptions of what talents you have learned from your past. You will make one from a question your class poses and one to describe your background.

Skills can range from 1-3, with a skill of 3 being the most skilled a mortal can reasonably get. Skills start at 1 and you may have a collective total of 7 in all your skills.
