Skill System

There are many skills available to choose from here on Moonlit-Tales. Each skill is unique and can be combined with other skills to make quite powerful combinations. Each character starts with one skill at the lowest level and then can train up the skills of their choice to a level based Untrained to Grand Master. There are three main skill trees that are available to choose skills from, each one has many branches, so you can have a unique and versatile character. The three trees and their subsequent skills will be outlined below.

[NOTE: One can only naturally obtain 28 points without gaining through an event or some other admin sanctioned method. So, make sure you place them wisely.]

Warrior skills include all weapon based skills as well as the unarmed skill. It directly influences your physical combat prowess and as such, with each level that you train up a skill in this tree, you get +50 stats into the strength, speed and endurance stats.

Swordsmanship: This skill covers all sword types, from a basic dagger to a dual handed bastard sword. One is able to wield weapons of equal level to this skill, so if you want a Master level sword, you need to be a Master level swordsman.

Marksmanship: This skill covers all ranged/thrown weapons, from the coveted bow and arrow or the deadly crossbow, all the way to a throwing knife or even a flintlock pistol. One can only wield weapons equal to their level of skill.

Explosives: This skill branch covers all things that blow tf up. From basic bombs to advanced trip mines and sparkling gunpowder, this skill is sure to leave a mark. One can only wield weapons equal to their level of skill.

Unarmed: This skill is both super basic, but also one of the most powerful skills. Instead of allowing you to wield a particular weapon, this skill turns the user into a weapon. With each level, the wielder will gain a passive boost to their Speed and Strength. These bonuses do NOT stack together, and instead simply replace the previous one.
