Overview[edit]
Along with your feats and enhancements, skills are a major way to define what your character does in the DDO world. These range from your knowledge about the creatures and world around you to your ability to perform acrobatic or athletic deeds of daring-do; from sneaking around and picking locks to charming your way into a king's good graces, and so on.
Some skills require training to perform certain actions, and all skills benefit from the bonuses given by training
Skill Points[edit]
As your character increases in level, they will gain skill points, and they can be spent during the leveling process. The number of points that you get depends on what class you are and the value of your intelligence modifier.
Skills themselves can be either class skills (the list for each class is found on the class page), or cross-class skill (those that aren't on the list). Depending on which class you leveled with, each point spent on a skill will move it a full rank (if it is a class skill), or half rank (if it is cross-class).
Some skills need a full point in them before you can use things that require them. For example, you need at least 1 full point in Tumble before your character can tumble.
