A skill represents a specific combination of knowledge and aptitude. Every skill is rated on a scale from 0 to 100%. This is called a skill rating. Skills define the actions that your character can perform during play and the skill rating is a measure of how good they are at the skill; the higher the better.

Skill mastery brings self-confidence from such discipline and expertise. Improving a skill to 90% or more after play begins provides your character with a bonus of 2d6 Sanity Points.
