As in many other LARPs, Skills are used to determine what actions your character is allowed to take. Skills are purchased by spending Skill Points (see Character Advancement).

Some skills require other skills be purchased before you are allowed to purchase them. These skills have their requirements indicated in the "Requirements" column of the chart. Also, some skills are only able to be purchased by members of a certain race, this is indicated as well.

All skills have a value assigned to them for members of each class. For example, Simple Melee Weapons can be purchased by any class for 1 Skill Point. Some skills, like One Handed Melee Weapons, have different values for different classes. This is used to represent the fact that members of certain classes have a tendency towards certain types of skills. Warriors *CAN* learn Psionics in Pathways, but it takes a lot of work for them to be able to do so. Some races also modify the costs of certain skills - this is indicated in the descriptions for the appropriate races.
