| − | 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'''.
| + | There are '''29''' 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.

| | | | |
| − | There are '''11''' firearm skills: | + | There are '''9''' non-combat skills in total. Each of these has a dedicated page with more information: |
| − | * '''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, when firing a rifle or pistol caliber, 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: | + | |

| + | |
| − | |-
| + | |
| − | | '''Master''' || 100 SP
| + | |
| − | |}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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.

| − | === Effects (Firearm skills) ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The effects of a particular skill level tends to be the same with all firearm skills:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * '''Unskilled''': [[FT]] +1
| + | |
| − | * '''Basic''': No effects (normal accuracy)
| + | |
| − | * '''Skilled''': [[IR]] -1
| + | |
| − | * '''Expert''': [[IR]] -2
| + | |
| − | * '''Master''': [[FT]] -1, [[IR]] -2
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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]].

| + | |
| − | * [[Unarmed combat]], as the name suggests, calls '''Unarmed / Martial arts''' skill.
| + | |
| − | * All hand grenades call for '''Thrown weapons'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Effects (Melee and misc 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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Exotic weapons ====
| + | |
| − | * Every exotic melee weapon and exotic ranged weapon has their own maximum attack per turn limit, which are unaffected by skill level.
| + | |
| − | ** [[Chainsaw]], [[Combat Chainsaw]], [[Doomslayer]]: Maximum 2 attacks per turn
| + | |
| − | ** [[Drill Arm]]: Maximum 3 attacks per turn

| + | |
| − | * It's difficult to throw the same object more than once... so by definition, all thrown weapons are locked to maximum 1 attack per turn.

| − | ==== Martial arts ====
