A rank refers to how often a character has invested the points in a skill when using the GOALS verb. The first 40 ranks of a skill give a higher bonus than the ranks beyond 40, at a decreasing rate.

  • Ranks 1 through 10 give 5 points to the skill's bonus.
  • Ranks 11 through 20 give 4 points.
  • Ranks 21 through 30 give 3 points.
  • Ranks 31 through 40 give 2 points.
  • Every ranks 41 and beyond give 1 point.

Beyond rank 50, a skill bonus can be calculated as Bonus = 100 + Ranks.

Not every skill uses the bonus provided by the ranks and only rely on the skill's ranks to determine benefits, such as the various lore skills, Multi Opponent Combat, and spell training.
