First and foremost, every class will have 2 extra skillpoints from the standard since we increased the need of skills in the server (for example, swashbuckler have 6 skillpoints instead of 4)

-Appraise: It will modify the price only of the most valuables items the merchant has to sell. Furthermore will slightly influence the possibility of the merchants having special goods for sale to the character

-Balance/Climb: Environmental skills. There will be some areas where these skills will allow to easily cross or reach places.

-Crafting: Several different functions (see ⁠Craft )

-Lore(History) : With the new Lores System (check index under Character Mechanics) the old skills have become obsolete, but we kept some macro categories for RP purpouses and give them some opportunities to generate a RDG in the future (check index under Game World Mechanics). This one involves everything history related on the Forgotten Realms: noble lineages, battles happened, the story of a special npc etc

-Falsify: Is the opposite of Decipher Scripture. It will allow people to forge maps/lorebooks when, in actuallity, have no value (to be implemented)

-Gather Information: It allows players to learn more about recent happenings in the surrounding area. Used for the main purpous on the server to generate RGD (see RGD) and roleplay situations

-Heal: Now it will not only cure poison,disease and hp lost, from every 5 ranks will heal an additional condition. For example from 5 will restore ability score damage. From 10 will restore ability score drain and so on.

-Search:Monsters and enemies will always be lootable and depending on a search roll result the chances of dropping better things are slightly higher for important items and always higher reward in coins

Instead, having ranks in this skill will allow to comprehend the spoken language of a creature, regards your character has knowledge of that language or not. Unless one has severely invested in this skill, the player will be able to comprehend few words in a sentence (those that have invested heavily in this skill may arrive to fully comprehend everything)
