Core - Skills
From Open Source Tabletop
Special Abilities determine what your Character can do, things like spells, combat moves, etc. A character acquires Special Abilities by spending Skill Points.
Scalable Skills
The idea behind Scalable Abilities is that instead of having 10 versions of an ability or spell that are just different powered versions of the same spell we have one spell that gets more powerful over time. Basically the idea is that a player can make a choice between a couple difficulty options for a spell. The higher the diffaculty the more powerful the spell is if it succeeds.
