The Skill progression would simply ‘freeze’ when you reach level 3 on the skill. For example, if your “Reflexes” Attribute is only Level 3, then the Skills tied to it (Handguns, Blades, Assault) cannot go above Level 3. The Skill Level cannot be greater than the underlying Attribute the Skill belongs to. For example, Pistol kills increase the Handgun skill.
So you have 5 Attributes > 12 Skills > 235 Perks. Then the Skills branch out into Perks, these are the leafs of our imaginary tree (19-20 Perks per Skill). The Attributes branch out into Skills, these are the branches of the tree (2-3 per Attribute). The 5 “Attributes” would be the trunk of a tree (they are the “big categories”, the foundation for all else). To illustrate this better, let’s imagine a tree. In order of importance: Attributes > Skills > Perks.
What is the Difference between Attributes, Skills, Perks?įirst, let’s go over what each term means because this can be a bit confusing.
