Characters in MazeWorld may have a variety of different '''skills''' and skill levels, governing their level of proficiency in a variety of domains. Skills belong to one of two categories: '''Combat skills''' and '''Non-combat skills'''.
For every skill, there are five levels: '''Unskilled, Basic, Skilled, Expert,''' and '''Master'''.
A variety of weapons and activities demand the use of certain skills, and one's skill level will determine a number of effects (such as accuracy, abilities, and so on). The term ''"X calls for Y skill"'' is frequently used throughout this wiki to denote which skills a particular weapon, item, or activity will cover.
= Combat skills =
All combat skills govern a character's proficiency in one of the many different types of weapons in the game. There are 21 combat skills in total, grouped in 3 sub-categories: '''Firearm skills''', '''Heavy weapon skills''' and '''Melee and miscellaneous skills'''.
Generally speaking, combat skills correspond to the type and action of firearms covered, and are intended to be easily inferred from the basic description of a weapon. For example, the [[Glock 17]] is a pistol with only one fire mode, '''semi-automatic'''; therefore it can be deduced that using this weapon calls for '''Semi-automatic pistol''' skill. In some cases however, it's not as clear. The sections below are intended to clarify these less clear cases.
If you have any doubts as to which skill a particular weapon calls for, refer to this page first. If still in doubt, the GM's opinion prevails.
== Firearm skills ==
The firearm skills are as follows:
* '''Bolt-action''': For firearms with the '''Bolt-action''' fire mode.
* '''Pump-action''': For firearms with the '''Pump-action''' fire mode.
* '''Lever-action''': For firearms with the '''Lever-action''' fire mode.
* '''Automatic pistol''': Usually applies to handguns (or handgun-sized firearms) when fired in burst or full-auto mode.
* '''Automatic rifle''': Usually applies to long guns firing a pistol or rifle caliber when fired in burst or full-auto mode.
* '''Automatic shotgun''': Usually applies to any firearm chambered in a shotgun caliber, when fired in burst or full-auto mode.
* '''Semi-automatic pistol''': Usually applies to handguns (or handgun-sized firearms) when fired in semi-automatic mode.
* '''Semi-automatic rifle''': Usually applies to long guns firing a pistol or rifle caliber when fired in semi-automatic mode.
* '''Semi-automatic shotgun''': Usually applies to any firearm chambered in a shotgun caliber, when fired in semi-automatic mode.
* '''Double-action revolver''': For firearms with the '''Double-action''' fire mode.
* '''Single-action revolver''': For firearms with the '''Single-action''' fire mode.
Notes:
* All '''Automatic''' skills apply when the firearm is used in '''burst''' or '''full-auto'''.
* Weapons belonging to the '''submachine gun''' and '''machine gun''' categories call for '''Rifle''' skills.
* The [[GM-94]] is a pump-action grenade launcher, but it does not call for '''Pump-action''' skill; this weapon requires '''Grenade launcher''' skill (see [[Skills#Heavy weapon skills|Heavy weapon skills]]).
* Weapons with a '''Single shot''' fire mode are covered by a corresponding '''Semi-automatic''' skill; the exact skill required depends on the caliber and size.
** For example, the [[Citori]] is a [[20 gauge]] double barrel shotgun; its fire mode is '''Single shot (x2)''', therefore it calls for '''Semi-automatic shotgun''' skill.
** Another example, the [[COP 357]] is a [[.357 Magnum]] quadruple barreled handgun; its fire mode is '''Single shot (x4)''', therefore it calls for '''Semi-automatic pistol''' skill.
* Combination guns:
** Both types of combination guns (''Combination long gun'' and ''Combination handguns'') call for '''Semi-automatic shotgun''' skill if firing a shotgun caliber.
** Otherwise, combination long guns call for '''Semi-automatic rifle''', and combination handguns call for '''Semi-automatic pistol'''.
=== Requirements (Firearm skills) ===
Each skill level requires a certain amount of '''Skill Points (SP)'''. For firearm skills, a Skill Point is obtained when a character kills another creature using a particular weapon and fire mode. The requirements for each level is as follows:
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:9pt; text-align:center" width="500"
|-
! '''Skill level''' !! '''Required SP'''
|-
| '''Unskilled''' || 0 SP
|-
| (WIP)
|}
There also exist '''Training Points (TP)''', which are given during [[character creation]] or obtained as a result of training in a suitable training facility (for firearm skills, the Shooting Range). A character may only have up to 250 TP in a given combat skill, and each translates to '''0.1 SP'''. Effectively, this means that it is only possible to reach '''Skilled''' through training alone, after which further experience must be obtained on the field, in real conditions.

The effects for each level of each combat skill are very similar, as follows:
