MYTHIAN SKILLS
Skills are knowledge or abilities that your character has learned over time. (You would learn them in your backstory). These are skills that will help you get a job or give you the ability to create things. In some cases skills are in the knowledge you have over a certain subject. These skills do not require a dice roll to use. Every race gets three skills. You are welcome to pick three matching skills or three different very different skills mix them up.
SKILL CONSIDERATION
Make sure the the three skills you pick compliment the job you want.
For example:
If you want to own the wine shop, the wine making skill and farming are good skills to have. If you own the shop but don't have wine making as your skill you will need to find someone that does to make the wine for you or if you don't have farming you need someone to grow the grapes for you.
This also applies to your ability to aid people or make healing potions. If you do not have the required skills then you cannot do participate in healing or making potions. **Note-Please remember we are limiting the number of Healers. Those caught practicing healing other than wrapping a bandage to get the person to the medicus can be arrested as it is considered a crimes. The Medicus has different position see the Medicus page for more information.

SKILLS VERSUS TRAITS/ATTRIBUTES
For this game we are using skills that you had to learn to do. These are not traits or attributes that a person is born with such as Beauty or Intelligence. Other attributes that require a degree of roleplay to pull off such as lying or being charming aren't included in the skill list
These attributes are often included in table top and roleplay that require a character sheet. In these games the player rolls a dice and adds their skill # to the dice role to see if they work. In Mythia, we are not rolling for the use of skills. All players may use these skills. There is no experts in any of them. You simply have to back them up with your writing. If a roleplay situation come up in which you want to use a dice roll such as lying that will be between the players involved. We will not be given extra boost to the dice for these attributes.

ROLEPLAY REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES
Charming and Seducing
These two attributes require a good deal of roleplay skill to pull them off. In our experience many players that choose these skills fill that just because they chose it people must find them Charming or seductive. We disagree with this. If you can rp being charming or being seductive by all means go for it.
Lying and Cheating
When Lying or trying to cheat someone in character it often comes down to trying to persuade the other character to believe you. This should rely on character relationship or even the simple discussion at hand. How much of a snake oil charmer are you?
Most people tend to stay away from this because it can easily be metagamed by the other player. We frown on metagaming but we still believe that the person wanting to lie or cheat should be able to do it through roleplay and not a skill set.

COMMON SENSE ATTRIBUTES
Beauty
An Attribute like Beauty.. well truth be known everyone in sl tries to make their avatars look beautiful. In fact it takes more work to make your avatar look ugly then it does pretty. So then how is one prettier than another, shouldn't that be left up to the opinion of a players? In our experience we have seen this attribute back fire time and time again. Players using it expect all players to look at them in awe and then ignore all other players. When this doesn't happen they become upset. If you have something unique about your character and you want it known post about it.
Intelligence
Intelligence falls under this category as well. How can we rate intelligence in this game? As we all have access to flip the screen and can look up anything we want before the post round is over.
