Skill list

In PotP, all players have a wide variety of basic activities (commands) at
their fingertips from creation, with no need to devote special attention to
learning them. These include the abilities to move about, talk, manipulate
objects in simple ways (‘get,’ ‘drop,’ etc.), begin a fight, and so on…things
that just about any adult would know how to do, in other words. Then there are
specialized skills that a person would have to consciously seek out training to
learn. These skills often concern becoming a better fighter, channeler, or
explorer, but also include more artistic and social activities like sharpening
weapons, treating wounds, and sewing clothing.

One can learn skills from a fellow player who already knows those skills (if
that player also has the ‘teach’ skill), or from mob/NPC trainers who can be
found in most of the larger cities of the world and guildhalls.

Weaves are very similar to skills, but can only be learned by channelers and
are uniquely patterns of application of the One Power to some end.
