Wizardry 6 Skills Database

Wizardry 6 Skills database may help you decide which skills you want your party to have accesss to. It is not possible to purchase skills or find any skill books during your adventure. The only way to learn skills is to change your profession to one that has the skill you want. You learn new skills at level 0 and you can add more skill points when you level-up. Some skills may raise level automatically when you use the skill. All skills max out at 100.

Wizardry 6 Skills

There are a total of 24 skills divided into three categories: Weaponry, Physical, and Academia. Weaponry Skills may automatically increase when you use the skill such as swinging a weapon. You will need to have the skill at any level in order to equip the weapon of a given skill. A higher skill level allows you to be more effective using a weapon of that skill. Physical Skills may also automatically increase when you use the skill with the exception of the Scouting skill. Academia Skills will never raise automatically and so it is important to raise these skills during level-up if you want access to new spells.
