Learn a skill

Skills use the same XP pool as Force powers. What each skill does explains every rank before you buy.

In the menus: ESC → Character → Current → SKILLS

Buy a rank

  1. Select the pip for the rank you want.
  2. Select APPLY.

Switching between Force and Skills keeps your pending choices. APPLY saves both and closes the menus.

Leaving without applying discards both.

A refusal lands on the yellow line above APPLY.

Things to note

  • A rank is permanent. Nothing sells it, refunds it or lowers it.
  • Languages are not bought here. /character add language points you at staff, or at Diplomacy 3 and Tech 1.

Prefer the console?

Run it bare for all 20 skills with their level, ceiling and next cost:

Name a skill with no level and it reports rather than buys, because a purchase cannot be undone. Add a level and it buys, charging every rank in between:

Names are the lower-case ones in the listing. An exact name wins, and anything shorter has to match one skill only.
