<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''skill rank''' is a number indicating how much training or experience a [[character]] has with a given [[skill]]. Skill rank is incorporated into the [[skill modifier]], which in turn improves the chance of success for [[skill check]]s with that skill.<br />
<br />
A character's number of ranks in a skill is based on how many [[skill point]]s a character has invested in it. It is possible to collect up to five skill points and stack them until needed; they do not have to be spent at level-up.<br />
<br />
Many skills can be used even if the character has no ranks in them; doing so is called making an [[untrained]] skill check.<br />
<br />
==Acquiring skill ranks==<br />
For [[class skill]]s (such as [[listen]] for a [[rogue]] or [[spellcraft]] for a cleric), a character gets 1 rank (equal to a +1 bonus on checks with that skill) for each skill point. For [[cross-class skill]]s, a character gets a &frac12; rank per skill point invested.<br />
<br />
==Maximum skill ranks==<br />
The maximum skill ranks of a skill represents the highest achievement a character can reach at his current level.<br />
*'''Class Skill''': The maximum skill ranks for a character's class skill is equal to the that character's [[character level]] + 3.<br />
*'''Cross-class Skill''': The maximum skill ranks for a character's cross-class skill is equal to the (character level + 3) &divide; 2.<br />

==NWN comparison==<br />
*Cross-class skills in NWN had a max skill rank equal to (character level + 3) &divide; 2, with the final figure rounded down (e.g. the max cross-class rank of a character with 4 character levels would be 3).<br />
