Skill Points

**VÆRDIERNE NEDENFOR ER IKKE FÆRDIGE.**

## Skill Points Explained

Each skill rank gives a +1 bonus to skill checks with the chosen skill. A character can have up to its proficiency bonus in skill points per skill. A character is "proficient" in a skill if they have a number of skill points in a skill equal to their proficiency bonus (might be relevant in some cases, but doesn't impact skill uses per se).

One skill rank costs two skill points. If you have any left over skill points at the end of leveling up, it is added to the next level's Skill Points.

If a Race, Feat or Class feature gives you a skill, you instead gain 4 skill points.

Instead of Background skills, you gain 20 skill points.

You can buy a skill rank for 2 skill points.

You can buy a tool rank for 1 skill point.

You can buy the ability to speak a language for 2 skill points. You can buy the ability to write a language for 2 points *if you are already able to speak it.*

Each class gets the following amount of skill points per level. These are doubled at level 1.

Artificer: 2 skill points

Barbarian: 2 skill points

Bard: 3 skill points

Cleric: 2 skill points

Druid: 2 skill points

Fighter: 2 skill points

Monk: 2 skill points

Paladin: 2 skill points

Ranger: 3 skill points

Rogue: 4 skill points

Sorcerer: 2 skill points

Warlock: 2 skill points

Wizard: 2 skill points

You receive skill points equal to your Intelligence modifier per level. You lose skill points equal to your Intelligence modifier if it is negative. You can never gain less than 0 skill points per level.

Expertise doubles the bonus of your skill points in a chosen skill. Rogues gain an Expertise skill at level 4, but receives one less at level 6. Bards gain an Expertise skill at level 6, but receives one less at level 10.

As an example, a level 1 Human Variant Rogue with 12 Intelligence would gain 4 (Race) + 20 (Background) + 8 (Class) + 1 (Intelligence) skill points at level 1, for a total of 33 points. These points can be distributed as the Rogue sees fit, to a maximum of 4 skill ranks (or 2 skill points) per skill. At level 2, he would receive 5 skill points, plus any left over he didn't spend at level 1.

Skills are not tied to a ability modifier per se, but will often times use the same ability modifier for most checks. Perception is oftentimes Wisdom, but Intimidation might often times be Strength, Charisma or even Constitution based.

## New Skills

#### Contacts

Din evne til at indsamle information ved brug af dit sociale netværk. Et skill point i Contacts tillader dig at opnå en Contact, som du senere kan drage på.

* The character’s total amount of skill points in the Contacts skill is the maximum number of permanent contacts they can have.
* A contact cannot just be switched out without some major in game event, i.e. you get burned by your organization and lose contacts with it, you can then find or create new contacts through the game.
* Each contact you have is assigned a Name / Description, Role, and a Likes… attribute.
* You may start with up a number of Contacts equal to your amount of skill points in the Contacts skill. Any further Contacts can only be made during play.
* When you attempt to draw upon a Contact, you must make a Contacts skill check.
* You may also perform a general Contacts check if you have no relevant contact, to see if you can draw upon your network to find what you are looking for. Example contact: **Vanessa, Caster (Low Level)** – A newly licensed mage who is still learning her trade. She can provide access to low-level scrolls from time to time. **Likes** stories and trinkets from far off exotic places that she hasn’t been able to travel to yet. (Cost 2 slots because of greater mechanical benefit.)
