If aspects define who a person is, skills define what he can do and how he does it. These skills allow [[people:Cohen|Cohen's]] to Fight, [[people:Tharen Starlight|Tharen's]] ability to build Rapport with people. [[people:Hellstrom Darkmaster|Hellstrom's]] capability to wield the forces of magic is actually handled as [[fate:Extras]] (see [[fate:Magic]]).


===== Actions and Outcomes =====

Fate defines its skills in accordance to the [[fatecore>four-actions|Four Actions]]. These are Create an Advantage, Overcome, Attack and Defend.

  * **Overcome:** Tackle some kind of challenge, engaging task, or hindrance related to your skill.
  * **Create an Advantage:** Discover and create aspects, and possibly get free invocations of them.
  * **Attack:** Harm someone (physically, mentally, socially, etc.) in a conflict.
  * **Defend:** Defend an attack, overcome, or create an advantage.

The result of any skill test is determined by the [[fatecore>four-outcomes|Four Outcomes]], which are Fail, Tie, Success, and Success with Style.

  * **Fail:** Either fail or success with a serious cost.
  * **Tie:** Success with minor cost or you do not get everything you wanted.
  * **Success:** You get what you want at no cost.
  * **Success with Style:** Success by 3 or more. You get what you want and more.
