Skill types:

Skills are divided into following groups: Base, Active, Passive and Lore.

Type:	Description:	Example:
Base	Base Skill is basis for most untrained ability to perform specific actions. There are only 5 Base skills: Weapons Skills Base,  Tech Skill Base,  Survival Skill Base, Communication Skill Base, Psy Skill Base.  As a rule test using Base skill are rolled using one d12.	In case of two character's start a conversation without knowledge of each others language, they will both use Communication skill Base to see if conversation has been successful.
Active	Active skills are combination of specific knowledge, training and ability to use it effectively. Active skill use their own number and levels for tests.	Assault Rifles: 5, level [T] – practical use of this types of weapons, shooting, maintenance. Level indicates that for tests involving shooting user will be rolling 2 d10.
Passive	Passive Skill adds its level to roll on Base skill or Characteristics test.	Brawl: 4 - when character is involved in fistfight he would roll d12, then add +4 to his result and consult table to see result. Note that Critical Fail is not improved by passive skill.
Lore	Lore skills requires greater degree of knowledge, understanding theory and practice than Active. Lore is used to describe ability for very complex subjects and their use with help of others. Lore works same way as Active skill, but effects of this skill usually benefit others.	Lore: Medieval Siege [E] – practical understanding of weak and strong points of castle defense, supply situation, most effective weapons and psychology of defenders and attackers. [E] indicates Expert level, with 3 d10 rolled for purpose of tests.

Skill levels:

Active skills have different levels: Basic, Trained, Expert, Master, and Legendary. Each level of skill gives amount of dice rolled to see if test is successful. Number on a skill is used when determining successful result against magic 13 or opponents skill. Passive skills use Character's Characteristics number and/or Base skill (like Weapons skill base, Survival skill base) number to see if test is successful. Critical successes of smaller dice are canceled by normal and Critical successes of larger dice. For example roll of “8” on d8 will be beaten and negated by roll of 8 on d10.
