	[[~~Skills~~]] are ~~features of a character description~~ that ~~not every~~ character has ~~(attributes)~~, ~~and cannot be taken away from your~~ character ~~(inventory)(at least not without severe trauma)~~.		In most [[role-playing games]], '''skills''' are abilities that represent the training or [[Bear Lore\|knowledge]] your character has gained throughout his or her life and career. In most systems, there is an explicit list of skills a character can take, representing actions that the designers thought were important or common in to play.

	Skills are most often used to represent of training or [[Bear Lore\|knowledge]] your character has gained through his or her life. In most systems, there is an explicit list of skills a character can have, representing actions that the designers thought were important or common in to play.		In a stat-based system, skills often provide a bonus to the [[stats\|attribute]] that "governs" the skill. In these systems, the skill acts as bonus to the base given by the governing stat. For example, having points in the Climb skill will improve your chances of succeeding at a Strength check to climb a surface.

	In a stat based system, skills often provide a bonus to the [[stats\|attribute]] that "governs" the skill. In these systems, the skill acts as bonus ~~to the dice roll in addition~~ to the base given by the governing stat. ~~i.e. a character's Strength is consulted when climbing difficult surfaces in [[Dungeons & Dragons\|DnD]]~~, ~~and~~ having points in the Climb skill will improve your chances of ~~not becoming pork stew~~ at ~~the bottom~~.
