Skills and KnacksMartial Skills The basic skill system is generally used as per 7th Sea. Certain skills have been modified and new ones added, using a similar profile. Skills cost 2 Hero Points each to buy during character creation, for which you get all the Basic Knacks at level 1, except as noted below. Basic Knacks cost 1 HP per level to increase; Advanced Knacks cost 3 HP per level to buy and/or increase unless you have an Advantage that affects the cost. If you get two skills that grant the same basic knack, they are additive. The maximum rank at any starting knack is 3. Some weapon-related martial skills have been regrouped in related categories. See under Combat Basics for details on how this affects unskilled weapon use. New martial Knacks that aren't immediately obvious are described in the third table below. |
