The amount of proficiency a character has determines their ability to use the skill and its forms.

Skill Rating
The base rating of all skills is 8. The character's Skill Rating is the target number plus the relevant attribute score, plus any synergy bonuses.
For example, a character has a Strength of 16 and is an Apprentice Carpenter. This gives them a Carpentry Skill Rating of 11.
If they later apprenticed in Engineering, this would increase their Carpentry Skill Rating to 12.
It is not necessary to write down all skills as, if a character is not proficient with them, their Skill Rating for them is 8 + Ability Modifier and uses the Untrained Skill section of the Stat's Sheet.

Skill Rank
Each skill starts at Non-Proficient. Each Skill Rank costs 1 Skill point; being a Master of a craft requires 3 skill points normally. If the Skill is a General Skill or a Class Skill, the first point spent gives you a rank of Trained.
Every rank above Apprentice adds a +2 bonus to the Skill Rating.

Proficiency Level Skill Points Spent Base Skill Rating
Non-Proficient 0 8*
Apprentice 1 8
Trained 1 (class)/2 10
Journeyman 2 (class)/3 12
Master 3 (class)/4 14
Grandmaster 4 (class)/5 16
World Renowned 5 (class)/6 18

==new stuff to incorporate for difficulty==

now that Basic difficulty (Standard) isn't auto success, the first level of training (apprentice) gives you +5. After that +2 per point if its a Skill. If its an attribute feat its +1.

Routine = +10 Easy = +5 Basic = Standard Advanced = Hard (-5) Expert = Very Hard (-10) Formidable = -15 Heroic = -20 Impossible = -25

Untrained skills suffer the above penalties. Trained skills suffer 5 points less of penalty. Or something along those lines, we'll work it out.

A Skill check is described as being the LOWEST level the character could achieve success on. For instance, a Hard Skill Check requires the character succeed with a -5 penalty. If they would have succeeded with a -10 penalty, then it was a Very Hard success.

Training in a skill gives a character a +5 bonus and means they automatically succeed on Routine and Easy checks without a roll.

If a Feat check says the character can alternatively use a skill that is NOT a feat, decrease the effective difficulty by one step for using that skill.

		+	This is the level of the skill, based on the number of points spent on it (+1 if it is a class skill once you spend ANY points on it). We... may be using a thac0 like system now though. I think, for now, we'll use the default and offer "alternative methods" as well. Include "Traditional Skill System" that is not locked to Traditional games or anything but is simply "roll under attribute, +1 to effective attribute per skill level. We'll default to the Skill Rating = Modifier method but also list an alternative - To Hit Expert Level (THEL).

	Default modifier is the highest stat listed for the skill in the day to day use though it may be swapped out, so, like, record Base Skill Rating, standard attribute modifier and then Skill Rating. So, like, if something has a skill rating of 12 and you have +3 str to it, record that as skill 12 +3 (str). Or, honestly, we just put the standard attributes next to the skill on the stats sheet and and the player can add it as needed basically. I dunno, we'll work it out.
