The below skills are all categorised as ‘individual skills’ – those which augment or enhance a character’s ability to interact with the world at a base level, whether that means allowing them to redraw skill checks or withstand more blows from their enemies!

All characters begin with 3 or 4 Wound Levels, depending on their archetype, which provide their basic Hits.

The amount of times each skill can be purchased will vary based on your archetype. Refer to your OCS and ensure that you do not have more purchases than the ‘Max Buy’ column!
