Latest revision as of 13:32, 12 January 2020
Skills in Underrail represent your character's competence and knowledge in specific topics.
Each skill has two values on the Character Sheet S menu: a base value and an effective value. Effective value is displayed in parentheses after the base value and is visible only if it differs from base value. The base value is the number of skill points invested in that skill. The effective value is the actual skill value with all skill modifiers[1] counted in. (Eg. bonuses from related base abilities, skill synergies, and certain items.) The base values of skills are used in requirements for learning new feats and abilities, while effective values are used for everything else.
- [1] Note: Dodge and Evasion are not only skills, but also defensive stats. Some effects apply directly to the defensive stats instead of the skills. Combat Stats C menu shows their values as used in combat calculations.
You gain 40 skill points every level, except at character creation where you have 120 points to spend. You cannot increase any given skill beyond its maximum for your current level, which is 10 + 5 per level. This means you can max 8 out of the 22 available skills each level, or split your skillpoints into more skills.
- Related base abilities
- Each skill is affected by one of your character's Base Ability Scores, but the amount of points you may invest in any skill is not restricted by them. Every point in base ability above 4 increases the effective value of dependent skills by 8.5%, while every point below 4 decreases it by 10%.
- Skill synergies
- Some skills also benefit from others through skill synergy, increasing their effective skill value by a percentage of the synergistic skill. Synergies cannot boost skills beyond their maximum base value for your current level.
