CHARACTER MENU
“Those who become Emperor and light the Dragonres are surely
Dragonborn - the proof is in the wearing of the Amulet and the lighting of
the Fires. But were they Dragonborn and thus able to do these things - or
was the doing the sign of the blessing of Akatosh descending upon them?
All that we can say is that it is both, and neither - a divine mystery.”
- Emelene Madrine, The Book of the Dragonborn

INCREASING YOUR SKILLS
AND LEVELING UP
INCREASING SKILLS
There are three ways to increase a skill:
• Use a skill repeatedly. The lower the skill, the faster it increases from use. The higher the skill, the longer it takes to
increase. You can see how far you are from increasing a skill by checking the bar in your Skills Menu.
• Train with another character. You can pay some characters to increase your skills.
• Find a Skill Book. Skill Books increase a particular skill when read.
RAISING YOUR LEVEL
To raise your level, increase any combination of your skills multiple times. Increasing higher value skills levels you up
faster. You can check how far you are from raising your level by looking at the bar on your Skills Menu.
LEVELING UP
When you level up, you must choose whether to increase your Health, Magicka, or Stamina. You also gain one Perk
selection. You can select a Perk immediately or save it for later.
