I finished chapter 1 yesterday and had a fantastic time.
Just like MadMerryM below though I can't figure out how and when to add skills. The Rest at the end of the first chapter mentions writing a lesson under the relevant skill, but there was no instructions on adding skills to begin with. Is there a list of skills to choose from? How many should I add per quadrant?
I'm very confused..
Hey! Glad you’re having fun so far :)
Skills are explained on page 15. Excerpted from the book:
Skills are broad categories covering physical, mental and emotional abilities. You’ll use them when your witch does something risky and you need to stack dice.
(the four skills are Power, Craft, Care and Lore)
We talk about lessons on page 19. Excerpted from the book:
As your witch grows over the year, they will improve their skills. We track this progress by writing lessons.
These are short summaries of an experience, typically a single sentence. For example:
When you write a new lesson, write it underneath the most relevant skill—usually the one your witch was using during the experience.
When you stack dice (pages 50-51), you’ll check how many lessons you have under the skill you’re using to determine how many dice you need to stack.
Hope that helps! J
Ohhh now reading this again I see I’ve misunderstood. I thought power, craft, care etc are categories. And that at some point I’ll be adding skills to those categories like potion making let’s say under craft.
Now I see that power, craft, care etc ARE the skills and the lessons are what goes in the empty space in the quadrants
Thanks. I read those sections a few times but for some reason I got confused.
