Skill Table
9 September 2002

The below table lists all the skills in the game, including their favoured attribute and how they are improved.

The ID is the number that the game uses to identify the skill.
The Actions are those which will increase the skill through their use. The values given will be added to the current increase level for the skill (the percent number you see when you hover the mouse over the skill in the game). The values will be modified by the skill level so that high level skills will increase more slowly than low level skills.
