What counts
A use counts when the skill is used for real, in combat or training, and resolves (it doesn’t need to hit).
Skill Mastery
Knowing a move and mastering it aren’t the same thing. Every Standard and Ultimate skill has its own Mastery Rank, which goes up as you use it.
- Practiced
- 5 uses
- Mastered
- 15 uses
- Counted uses
- 3 per session
- Mastery perk
- 1 per skill

| Practiced | 5 | 8% | 25% | — |
| Mastered | 15 | 6% | 20% | 1 Mastery Perk |
Counting Uses
Limits
At most 3 uses per skill count per session, so spamming a skill in one fight won’t master it.
Track each skill’s uses on your sheet:
Skill: [name] (Standard)Mastery: Practiced (7/15)Mastery Perks
When a skill reaches Mastered, pick one perk for it:
| Perk | Effect |
|---|---|
| Honed | +2 Power for this skill |
| Efficient | Cost drops by another 2% |
| Swift | Ultimates only: the cooldown after it drops to 2 turns |
| Reach | One Range step further for this skill |
| Signature | Something unique to the skill. Permission Based |
