Skills

Characters can have variable proficiency in the following skills:

• Construction
• Growing
• Research
• Mining
• Shooting
• Hand to Hand
• Social

The base score in each skill is 3 with a minimum of 0 and no upper limit. Each point grants different bonuses to skills:

• Working skills get a 10% increased speed
• Shooting gives a 0.20% reduced chance to miss per meter
• Hand to Hand gives a ~2.1% improved chances to hit
• Social gives 10% more impact on relations, 25% better probability of recruiting, and a ~0.5% bonus on selling and buying commodities through negotiation.

A character can have a usable skill with a score of 0 or a unusable skill (because of his backstory) with a score greater than 0.
