Listed here are commands and things in the game you may have questions on.

    Skills

    All Social Status have a primary skill which must be 5, before you can select that profession. Some skills can be increased by doing those acts over and over again successfully. A skill in this game is like a Level, so you can now have a character with multiple skill levels. The your skill the better you are at it. Also if you do not use or study up on a skill over time it will start going back down till it reaches 0. So use it or loose it. Also every time you loose a skill there is a change you could loose your profession/social status. Or be left to change it to something your skill requirements meet. Skills are one of the most important aspects of Kemet. Also during the start of the game you are required to choose a deity to worship. This god in return gives you a skill bonus to start out with that is aligned to his/her's beliefs and game benefits. If you don't use those skills once in the game they will be lost as well. You can therefore worship a god, have no skills in that area, and be able to worship them but choose a non-bonus profession. But you will not get other benefits that god or goddess may give you towards that kind of profession. Some skills will only be able to increase with study, look for a city that has a library, guild, or training camp to increase those skills higher.
