In the skill-based system, you assign points to skills that would benefit whatever role you imagine, and then just act out the part. As long as you keep working on a specific type of skill, your ability in that skill will improve as you progress in the game. This allows you to pursue any career you desire. It then becomes virtually impossible for any one character to have godlike strength in every skill, allowing for a more realistic balance of assets among characters. Skills are acquired through training, practice or observation.
