Skills

Skill is the word for nearly everything anyone does on purpose in Hardcore Leveling Warrior. In Lucid Adventure, all actions performed using mana are called skills, used by players and NPCs alike, and most are triggered the same way: the user calls out Use Skill, and the effect follows. Skills divide into Active, requiring an action to trigger, and Passive, always on. Most run on mana, though some classes draw on other resources, like the Sword Energy of swordsmen. For players they arrive from several directions: Class Skills tied to occupation, Race Skills tied to tribe, and Personal Traits, the unique skill handed out at character creation regardless of everything else. The craft deepens from there, since separate skills can be overlapped through Ensemble, layering two or more into an effect neither had alone.
