Racial Skills

Post by Natasha » Thu May 26, 2005 11:23 pm

I know that a lot of Race-based skills start out as, for example with Elves, double-edged at a certain proficiency level, just because their race is proficient with it.

I was wondering if for the other skills these races are supposed to get bonuses on, if it would be possible to code it as an "on top" kind of bonus. For example, some races get bonuses to things like "Listen" etc in DnD. A level one person who has one of these bonuses can have 4 skill ranks in it, then gets the +1 on top of that, making the total skill bonus +5.

Here on the game it starts you out at whatever skill level like Novice, meaning that once you find the trainer for the appropriate skill and train up to Apprentice or whatever the trainer teaches to, all the racial bonus did was save you a few coins.

Is there any way to rework this in the code?
