4.4.2 THE ACHAEA SKILL SYSTEM

(see also HELP CLASSES, HELP HOUSES)

Commands: SKILLS, AB, SCORE RESOURCES, LEARN.

The Achaean skill system is based on groups of skills. SKILLS will list the
various skills you possess. Most of skills you start out with have no abilities
in them, but are instead defensive skills. As you train in these, your ability
to defend against the various forms of damage will increase. Use HELP
<skillname> to get information on each of these skills. Some of the skills will
have abilities in them; for instance Vision. To see a list of the abilities
that you have in these skills, type AB <skillname>. Remember, a skill is
generally a set of abilities, while an ability is something you will
individually do.

If you type SCORE RESOURCES, you will notice, among other things, the number of

lessons you have. Lessons are the method by which you increase your skills.
