Skills

The list of skills in the Wheel of Time Core Rulebook is just a tad long. A lot of the skills overlap one another, or are made redundant by 3.5E skills. As such, I have taken the liberty to combine the skill list, and organize them a bit better for a custom skill sheet. Physical Skills: Acrobatics (Dex):  Use for Balance & Tumble checks.
