Attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Perception, Charm, Temperament) form the foundation of your character, influencing all your skills. Skills are grouped into categories: Melee, Ranged, Defense, Dialog, Stealth, Tech, and Leadership. Each skill point you invest improves your proficiency. Reaching certain thresholds (e.g., 20, 40, 60) unlocks powerful bonuses. For example, 20 in Persuade unlocks a new dialogue option type. Plan your skill progression carefully to match your desired playstyle and maximize your effectiveness.
