XerExaltedLite/Skills

Skills

The following is of no concern to those of Heroic stature and greater.

Normal mortals and other 'minor' types (even if they aren't always so minor) do not get to take the all-encompassing Abilities. Rather, they get Skills - typically 16 dots of them, up to four per skill.

• Small gods, common Raksha, common ghosts, first circle demons typically fall under these restrictions as well, though, as with mortals, some may rise above their station.

Skills cost one bonus point per dot.

A skill in Exalted Lite is generally more akin to a Specialty in the main Exalted rules, with the exception of Dodge (and Craft, sort of). Skills typically are rated from zero (unknown) to four (good). Beings with a bit more magic to them may have scores as high as six.
