=== 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:

| '''Unskilled''' || 0 SP

=== Effects (Firearm skills) ===
In addition, reaching Expert level with a particular firearm skill will also unlock a special [[Abilities#Learned at a certain skill level|ability]]. == Heavy weapon skills == There are '''4''' heavy weapon skills:* '''Grenade launcher''': For weapons in the '''Grenade launcher''' category.* '''Rocket launcher''': For weapons in the '''Rocket launcher''' category.* '''Planted explosives''': For weapons in the '''Planted explosive''' category.* '''Flamethrowers''': For weapons in the '''Disposable flamethrower, Light flamethrower''', and '''Heavy flamethrower''' categories. Notes:* Many planted explosives [[Explosives#Thrown|can be thrown instead of planted]], however doing so will call for '''[[Skills#Melee and misc skills|Thrown weapons skill]]''' instead. === Effects (Heavy weapon skills) === Like with firearm skills, skill levels affect accuracy, with the exception of planted explosives; those are governed under special rules. More details on [[Explosives]]. * '''Unskilled''': [[FT]] +1* '''Basic''': No effects (normal accuracy)* '''Skilled''': [[IR]] -1* '''Expert''': [[IR]] -2* '''Master''': [[FT]] -1, [[IR]] -2 == Melee and misc skills == There are '''14''' melee and miscellaneous skills, all of which (except '''Unarmed / Martial arts''') are named after eponymous weapon categories:* '''Archery'''* '''Axe'''* '''One-handed club'''* '''Two-handed club'''* '''Crude weapon'''* '''Knife'''* '''One-handed sword'''* '''Two-handed sword'''* '''Staff / Pole weapons'''* '''Whips / Lash weapons'''* '''Exotic melee weapons'''* '''Exotic ranged weapons'''* '''Thrown weapons'''* '''Unarmed / Martial arts ''' Notes:* "One-handed" and "Two-handed" are sometimes respectively shortened to "1H" and "2H".* [[Unarmed combat]], as the name suggests, calls '''Unarmed / Martial arts''' skill.* All hand grenades call for '''Thrown weapons'''. === Effects (Melee and misc skills) === Skill levels affect accuracy, like with firearms; however, they will also affect [[Weapons#Melee weapon modes|maximum attacks per turn]].

== Heavy weapon skills ==Archery ====* Archery weapons allow for as many reloads as allowed maximum shots per turn. For instance, if you can fire up to 3 shots with an archery weapon in a single turn, you are assumed to perform a reload after each shot (assuming of course that you have ammunition available!)* The numbers above apply only to bows. Crossbows are restricted to one shot/reload per turn.
==== Martial arts ====
* The max amounts per turn displayed apply to basic punches and kicks. See [[Unarmed combat]] for more details, particularly regarding martial arts techniques.
