Higher level characters in Microlite20 tend to be very skilled even at things outside of their area of expertise. A +3 bonus to one skill at level 1 is a significant advantage. However, by level 20 (and beyond), that bonus is marginal.

To signify the different specialties of each class you can use the following system.

  • Clerics are at (Level + 3 + Mind Modifier) for Communication, and (Half-Level + Ability Modifier) for all other skills. The GM may rule that a Cleric uses (Level + MIND) for Knowledge when used for all things related to dogma-related.
  • Fighters are at (Level + 3 + Strength Modifier) for Physical, and (Half-Level + Ability Modifier) for all other skills. The GM may rule that a Fighter uses (Level + MIND) for Knowledge when applicable to martial areas.
  • Magi are at (Level + 3 + Mind Modifier) for Knowledge, and (Half-Level + Ability Modifier) for all other skills. The GM may rule that a Magi uses (Level + MIND) for Communication when dealing with other spell casters.
  • Rogues are at (Level + 3 + Dexterity Modifier) for Subterfuge and (Half-Level + Ability Modifier) for all other skills. The GM may rule that a Rogue uses (Level + MIND) for Knowledge when applicable to all things rogue-like.

    When determining a skill that is at “half-level” always round down.
