 '''Skills''' in [[Underrail]] represent your character's competence and knowledge in specific topics.
-You gain '''{{color|silver|40}}''' skill points every level, except at character creation where you have '''{{color|silver|120}}''' points to spend. You cannot increase any given skill beyond its maximum for your current level, which is '''{{color|silver|10 + 5}}''' per level. This means you can max 8 out of the 22 available skills each level, or split your skillpoints into more skills.
+Each skill has two values on the Character Sheet {{key|S}} menu: a base value and an effective value. Effective value is displayed in parentheses after the base value and is visible only if it differs from base value. The base value is the number of skill points invested in that skill. The effective value is the actual skill value with all skill modifiers<sup>[1]</sup> counted in. ''(Eg. bonuses from related base abilities, skill synergies, and certain items.)'' The base values of skills are used in requirements for learning new feats and abilities, while effective values are used for everything else.
