Skill Changes: Difference between revisions

* Please note that skills requiring training (Animal Empathy, Perform, Tumble, Open Lock, Disable Device, Set Trap, Pick Pocket, UMD) will require at least 1 point spent on the skill for item bonuses to apply.  

* Any skill not mentioned here is unchanged.  

==Animal Empathy==

==Appraise==

You should not roleplay being a talented haggler without ranks in this skill. DMs will use Appraise as a skill check for negotiating prices in any kind of RP interaction. High Appraise may reveal special items in shops. High Appraise may reduce the cost of brewing potions or crafting wands, as well as the price of bundled goods from certain NPCs. However, please note that the base NWN functionality of Appraise is greatly reduced on EFU; basic vendors purchase very few if any items and always for a very small amount of money.

==Bluff==

Generally unchanged. It is however frowned upon to roleplay being a good liar without ranks in this skill.  DMs may also use this skill to determine ability at things such as disguise and forgery.

==Concentration==

Unchanged from Bioware Default. Now used in [[Crafting#Cooking|Cooking]].

==Heal==

'''Medicinal Herbs'''

Herbs will heal 1 hp/round based on a Heal check. Skill Focus: Heal adds an additional 1hp/round. The Rogue Perk "Physician" adds an additional 1hp/round.

* The total amount healed is the difference between your Heal check and the DC.

* Herbs and Healer's Kits have a guaranteed duration of Heal skill / 5 Rounds. This includes on uninjured targets.

* Herbs and Healer's Kits will not stop applying their regeneration effect once the target reaches Uninjured, and can be used to add a short duration Regeneration effect.

'''Healer's Kits'''

These items can be used to store Herbs. They weigh 5.5lbs but do not get any heavier when a Herb charge is added to the Kit.  

* Use the Unique Power on a Herb item (Medicinal Herbs, Improved Herbs, Lizardfolk Healing Charm etc). Special Herb items do not add their Heal check bonuses when added to a kit, so it may be best to store those separately.  

* You can also use the Unique Power of a Kit on another Healer's Kit to transfer uses charges from one Kit to another.

* WARNING: This will destroy the targeted kit and add to the kit you are using. Be sure you are targeting the correct kit.  

'''Antitoxins'''

This item neutralizes poisons with a successful Heal check of 1d20 + Heal vs DC.

* While out of combat, using Antitoxin will roll vs DC 15 to determine whether or not the poison is treated.

* While in combat, using Antitoxin will roll vs DC 30 to determine whether or not the poison is treated.

* Will also give the Ironguts buff to target on DC 20 and Lesser Restoration for DC 30.

'''Salutatory Tonics'''

This item cures diseases with a successful Heal check of 1d20 + Heal vs DC.

* While out of combat, using Salutatory Tonic will roll vs DC 15 to determine whether or not the disease is treated.

* While in combat, using Salutatory Tonic will roll vs DC 30 to determine whether or not the disease is treated.

==Hide==

==Lore==

==Move Silently==

Generally unchanged. A stealthed or invisible character that appears transparent has only been heard and not spotted, and cannot be identified. While this is hard to enforce, players are kindly asked to abide by this rule.

==Parry==

==Search==

Unchanged. Used in the [[Ranger#Tracking|Tracking]] ability of Rangers/Druids.

==Spellcraft==

==Spot==

Generally unchanged, though used in many custom EFU systems, such as [[Ranger#Tracking|Tracking]] ability of Rangers/Druids and the [[Rogue#Examine_Mark|Examine Mark]] ability of Rogues. A stealthed or invisible character that appears transparent has only been heard and not spotted, and cannot be identified. While this is hard to enforce, players are kindly asked to abide by this rule.

==Tumble==
