Proficiency

Sign in to edit

Proficiency is a type of skill that allows the use of certain armor and weapon types, depending on a character's class. Most proficiencies are acquired at character creation, while some are learned from a weapon trainer or from Specialization selection. Each class/skill combination is marked with an icon representing how that class gains access to the skill as well as any level requirements. Refer to the legend below for explanations of each icon.
