Skilldex

Some skills are used automatically. When you shoot a

gun in combat, the proper gun skill will automatically

be used. Other skills require that you actively use

them. These skills are available through the Skilldex.

Click on the Skilldex button on the Interface

Bar, or use the Use Skill On action icon to access

the Skilldex.

The Skilldex will display a list of all the

possible skills that you could use in this

situation. Not all skills will apply, so you must

pick the proper skill.

There are a total of eight skills that you can

choose from on the Skilldex. Each skill name is a

button. Next to the button is a counter, showing

your current level in the skill on the adjacent

button. As usual, high numbers are better and show

your percentage chance of succeeding in the use of

that skill. The skill level is before modifiers,

so it’s possible to have a really high skill and

still fail.

Click on a skill button to use that skill. All

skills, except for Sneak, will require you to pick

a target. If you accessed the Skilldex through the

command cursor with the Use Skill On action icon,

then the target has already been chosen. If you

use the Skilldex button off the Interface Bar, you

will have to choose the target. In this case, the

cursor will change to a targeting cursor. Move it
