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

Fate defines its skills in accordance to the 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 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.

The majority of these skills are strictly drawn from the Default Skill list in the Fate CORE book. The additional skills will be found on this wiki.
