Power Throw: Each point to this skill increases throwing damage by 10% (Personal Skill). Power Strike: Each point to this skill increases melee damage by 8% (Personal Skill). Ironflesh: Each point to this skill increases hit points by +2 (Personal Skill). Here is a list of the skills and how they affect your character: Reading a skill book increases the level of a specific skill by one point. Both leveling up and increasing the Intelligence attribute increase the number of skill points you can spend by 1. The three ways that players can gain skill points are by leveling up, increasing the intelligence attribute, and reading skill books. However, if the player character has the highest party level Leader skills effect the party, but only the skill level of the party leader is taken into account. The level of the party skill is determined to be the highest level among the members of the party. Party skills (like Wound Treatment, Path-Finding, and Looting) effect how your party functions after battles and on the map. Personal skills (like ironflesh and tactics) effect the stats of an individual character.

Skills can also be classified as either a personal, individual, or leader skill.
