《New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]》[Bonus Episode] - a Little Bit About Skills
Advertisement
As per poll results, this will be the first ‘meta’ topic I’ll be covering.
There are 2 types of skills.
[Ac]
Active
Need the user to willingly trigger them. Consume MP.
[Pa]
Passive
Activate when certain outside conditions are met, or are always active. Do not consume MP.
MP refers to Magic Power. In this universe, ‘magic’ and ‘skill-induced’ are synonyms and are used interchangeably by most.
There are 3 categories of skills.
High-level
From S+ to A-
Mid-level
From B+ to C-
Low-level
D+ and below
Everyone is born with hundreds of skills, but most of them will not raise above F (the lowest level) throughout the lifetime of the user. These “ulta-low” skills will still be possible to use though, but only with outside assistance (like magic artefacts).
D is the average level one person can achieve by working hard, or with some special training. To raise a skill higher, the user needs to either really specialize in it, or, more likely, be born with it.
Here is a list of all the skills that have been used and/or mentioned in the series so far:
