====== Skills And Actions In Rhand ======

Characteristics and Skill Levels have been designed, but exactly how do
they affect your chances of leaping the chasm or finding out where the
princess is held captive?

Accomplishing any exploit, from the mundane to the incredible, is governed
by the **Action/Reaction Table**.

The Action/Reaction table combines the ability of the character with luck
to give odds of success for hundreds of feats.

These feats are listed in the tables of [[The Action Reaction Table|section 3.3]] under the skill which
increases the chance of successfully doing the deed.

Learning these skills is an important facet of life in the Orca.

The expertise in a skill is rated by a **Skill Level** of 0 to 20.

This matches ability in the real world as given on the following table.

^ **Skill Level** ^ **Rating** ^
| 1 | Novice |
| 4 | Amateur |
| 6 | Intermediate |
| 7 | Journeyman |
| 8 | Professional |
| 10 | Expert in Field |
| 12 | Master |
| 15 | World Class |

The Skill Level greatly affects the chances of success at any endeavor.

For example, a seventh level, or Journeyman, has a seven times better
chance of success than a Novice.

The Orca fully recognizes the advantages in gaining skills, so both
General and Specialist training are provided throughout a character's career.
