====== Skills ======
Skills include abilities, talents and powers.  Collectively they're all just given the name "skills" for simplicity.

===== Class Skills=====
  * A marked skill (*) is always at the same level as the character.  How skills work is - they are compared to the obstacle, if they equal it or exceed it, the obstacle is overcome
  * If multiple players do a task together, add their skills together.  This basically means that lots of NRPs (Non-Roleplaying Players) with basic classes, can do the task of a character that has progression.  Two Green = one Adventurer.  Two Adventurer = one Veteran.
  * NRPs are always regarded as Green level
  * Noisy skills alert everyone
