Skill

s are special character abilities in For The King.

Description
Most characters begin their journey with a select combination of the 25 different skills currently included in the game. Certain skills may also be acquired by finding and equipping specific items. These special abilities are unique from most other equipped abilities, and can be an integral part of any party's strategy.

Passive skills
Passive skills are abilities that do not require any specific action from the player and will trigger of their own accord, depending on their effects. This includes skills such as Encourage, which will occasionally invert failed rolls during combat, and Gather Herbs, which can randomly yield a free herb when moving about the Overworld.

Active skills
Active or activated skills are abilities that, as the name suggests, require a decision or input from the player to activate. These types of skills generally reduce the number of stat checks required to perform an important action, such as with Elite Door Bash and Elite Sneak. Still others stand as combat skills and are used throughout the course of a battle, as with Elite Flee or Party Heal.
