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.

He can see clearly in the dark, so it's not even that. Blind maneuvering doesn't even remotely cover what he's capable of (there's not really an accurate D&D skill for it either). And it's only one thing amidst everything else, it's just what was focused on the most in the books while he was alive. Most everything else we learn from people talking about him and what he was able to do.

Also I was talking with someone about him training them in martial weapons as he is a weapons master and training people is what he did. How would that translate into skills since D&D Fighters learn ALL the weapons. I know one skill could be Drow: Twin Weapon Fighting because that's a specific to his people(and like one other place) thing that's not widely done.

We are granting the somatic conditioning equivalency, but not the sensory conditioning one.
