Skill System

This is a general overview and introduction to the skill system in place on the server. The skill system works by defining your job with a set of skill categories, these categories each have their own tier of skill, for example the Master tier is the highest a skill can be and the Novice tier is the lowest a skill can be. Depending on what tier a skill is will affect how your character performs in tasks relating to that category, to simplify this take the Engineering skill, if that is designated at a master tier it means your character will be able to construct all of the items on the build menu, if you don't have the master skill you'll have a limited selection.

PamphletsInstructional Pamphlet.png

Pamphlets are unique items that, when used, give one or more skill points in a specific field, depending on the pamphlet. For example, a person that use one for medicine will receive one skill point in medicine. They will receive the level of trained, allowing them basic operation of auto-injectors and a more faster use of splints and other medical items. The pamphlets will not be used or stack if they already have the level equal to the pamphlet or higher.

Skill Tiers

The skill tiers determine your characters knowledge of a skill, this then affects how you perform in that skill.

Skill Tier: Description:
Master Master level knowledge of a skill. Due to how this is the highest level of knowledge a character can have, you will be vastly superior to other players in that specific skill. An example for this is that the CMO has a master level of knowledge for medical and as such can perform medical tasks and procedures at a faster rate. Keep in mind that only a minority of skills have a master level.
Expert Expert knowledge of a skill. In practice this tier means that you'll have access to state of the art techniques relating to the specific skill and be able to perform them better and faster than someone who is specially trained.
Specially Trained Advanced knowledge of a skill. In round this tier means that you'll have access to more advanced techniques relating to the specific skill and be able to perform better than average on them as well.
Trained Basic knowledge of a skill. Effectively this is the fresh out of bootcamp tier, what this means in action is that you'll be able to use certain weapons and skill techniques at an average level.
Novice Limited to no knowledge of a skill. In practice this means that your character will either perform worse in the specific skill or you simply won't be able to complete the task relating to it.

Skills

A list of the twenty skills that make up the skill system.

Skills: Description:
CQC This skill concerns your Character's hand to hand self-defense prowess, the higher the skill is, the less likely you'll disarm weapons without discharging them. Melee weapons does not affect its skill.

Skill System Tables

The below table represents how the skill system will be shown on the wiki, hopefully this'll provide some good visual aid about the skill system to new and old alike.
