Skills Database
Does the skill system have you confused? Well, hopefully this little guide will help you figure it out.
After a person has undergone five individual experiments, he/she will be allowed to choose whether or not to become an experiment assistant. (Read the FAQ for more info on what exactly an experiment assistant is.) Upon becoming an experiment assistant, the person will automatically receive one experiment point. One experiment point is equal to ten regular points, which are typically gained through helping the Metis scientists on experiment days.
The experiment assistant can choose to spend the experiment point on either a new skill or to increase the length of a skill he/she already has. At the start, however, one will only be able to choose a rank E skill. To get a skill of the next level, you need to have a corresponding skill of the rank below. For instance, to get a rank A skill, you need to have a rank B skill, a rank C skill, etc. If you want another level A skill, you have to build up another chain of lower level skills.
When referring to the skill charts, the "person" in question is whoever the skill is used on. If the skill user must be involved in the effect of the skill, then it shall be stated as such. Also, these charts are not readily available to the characters. The Metis Group only reveals the charts that the character is eligible for choosing a skill from.
The skill database will continue to grow, so don't feel like you're limited to only what is listed here. Feel free to submit ideas that you'd like to see!
If you still have questions regarding the skill system, feel free to ask.
Note: If you plan on using these skills on others, please make sure to ask the mun first to make sure it's okay!
