Hit F2 on your keyboard to show a list of your [[skill]]s. There are 4 main categories in this window, [[characteristics]], [[religion]], [[:Category:Skills|skills category]], and spell effects. The characteristic sub-skills are values representing the current state of your [[body]], [[mind]], and [[soul]]. For instance, to be able to attack anything, your body characteristic must be at least 1.5, or you will be too weak. Each sub-characteristic is again divided into several sub-sub characteristics, which have their own functions. For instance, the maximum amount of [[weight]] you can carry is determined by your [[body strength]].
Religion skills consist of 3 things, [[faith]], [[favour]], and [[alignment]]. Alignment basically says whether you are good or evil, this is determined by the actions you do. Some [[gods]] won’t accept your [[Praying|prayers]] if you are evil for instance. Faith is a measure of how much your chosen gods like you, e.g. how much power they bestow in you. Faith is increased by praying at an [[altar]] dedicated to your chosen god, although it is capped at 30 for players who does not wish to become [[priest]]s. Priests are dedicated to following the will of their gods, and as such, a priest has the ability to cast his or her god’s [[:Category:Spells|spell]] at the cost of favour. Favor is the equivalent of [[wikipedia:mana|mana]] in many other role-playing games. Favor is only regained over time once used, so it should be used wisely.
The [[:Category:Skills|skills category]] is by far the most interesting as it lists all the skills you have discovered, as well as a number representing your expertise within that skill. As your skills increase you will find that the various tasks in the game becomes easier, and you will make better and better items. Like most everything in Wurm, skills [[decay]] over time, as well as when you [[die]], so take good care as your skills are the most valuable thing you have. Due to the skill decay, it is important to specialize if one wants to have high skills, as they will otherwise slowly decay.
