SKILL EQUIVALENCES.

SKILL EQUIVALENCES




If your character came into the game with previous skills from canon or another game, they may have equivalents among the in-game skills. If you'd like to use those skills as if they had the same mechanisms as game-granted skills, you may list the game skills applicable, along with a brief explanation of why or how your character has that particular skill - for example, characters with police or private investigator training could claim the Crime Scene Investigation skill, based on their previous training. If the skill was acquired in a previous game rather than canon, we may ask for a thread proof of the character gaining that skill.

Skill equivalences can be taught to other Travelers, and only apply to Jaunt skills - Liminal and Psychic equivalences are assigned at app time, as we cap those powers in-game. It is only necessary to claim a skill equivalence if your character has an interest in using or teaching it according to in-game mechanics, or if it satisfies a prerequisite for another skill. For more on skill equivalences, see here.



The skills Travelers have already learned are listed here for now; we're working on a better layout for them.

Character Name: Cassandra the Dust-Eater
Series: Claymore
Skill Equivalencies Requested: Pain Tolerance, Wilderness Survival
Reasoning:
Pain Tolerance: Cassandra has been shown to take significant damage in battle, up to and including lost limbs, with seemingly no reaction. She also manages to move, and fight, with no difficulty despite the large unhealed incision running down the front of her body.

Wilderness Survival: Cassandra's hunts tended to take place away from civilization, and Claymores are always shown traveling on foot. They will not infrequently end up camping in the woods, and at least one has been shown returning from hunting game, albeit for her (human) companion.
