Archon Skills Enhancements
This page takes a look at the various group skill areas / skill sets available at the Archon level.
The main categorical groups are loosely based on how either statistical bonuses and/or
types of proficiency sets are obtained/gained.
The skills areas are organized into 4 main categorical groups with sub-groups:
In-game family related: [1984] Adoptions; [1981] Bloodlines
Equipment related: Artifacts / Artificing; Equipment Based
Proficiency Set Categories: Archon Set; Class Mark Sets; Religious Sets
Other Resources: Subject Titles; Make / Use; "Task Masters"
Note: The page was converted/ported from "Non-Practice based Archon enhancements via proficiency sets and statistical bonuses."
This is the initial port/clean-up of a personal page, so some links are currently broken/in-accessible.
Use "page search' feature of the browswer to jump to the appropriate category / subcategory listed!
