===== Skill Points =====

Deckless characters start each [[scenario|scenario]] with 1 Skill Point per [[level|level]]. So, a 3rd level deckless character begins every scenario with 3 Skill Points. This starting value is also the character's maximum Skill Point value.

Upon playing an [[action|Action]] or [[reaction|Reaction]], the player may choose to spend one Skill Point to increase one entry's [[dice level|dice level]] by 1 or three Skill Points to increase one entry's [[dice number|dice number]] by 1. The player may choose to spend as many Skill Points as they wish in this manner (until they run out). For instance, a player could spend 2 Skill Points to boost Hit dice levels by 2 and 4 more Skill Points to boost Damage dice number and level by 1 each, all on the same Action.

In [[combat|combat]] scenarios, a deckless character with 2 [[weapon|weapons]] equipped may spend 3 Skill Points to play an Action from each of them during the Action Phase. This option is strictly limited to 2 weapons; a third Action from yet another weapon can't be played, [[tool|tools]] and [[implement|implements]] are not viable options, etc.

Effects that require an entity with Skill Points to draw a card instead increases Skill Points by an equal amount (and may go over the maximum value). This includes drawing cards during the Draw Phase and spending a [[strategy|Strategy]] to draw additional cards. However, Skill Points over the maximum are lost during the discard portion of the Discard Phase. At level 6 or higher, entities with Skill Points gain one additional Skill Point during the Draw Phase and one additional Skill Point when spending a Strategy to gain them. 

Effects that require an entity with Skill Points to discard a card instead decreases Skill Points by an equal amount (to a minimum of 0).

Changes to [[card hand limit|hand limits]] instead change a deckless character's Skill Point maximum value. This value cannot be reduced below 1 through such means, but there is no upper limit.

Entities that are [[player_s_guide_appendix_a|Confused]] cannot spend Skill Points, and entities that are Muddled cannot recover Skill Points.
