These are 4th edition skills that are usable in the Live Ars Magic System. The 3.5E and 5E Skills and languages may be used as well. Skills are many though, so if you think make up your own skill then give it a name, a good description and put the skill with a core stat, like (Int), (Wis) or (Cha). Then your done, if the DM/Gm agrees. This is where you decide to have a skill called good demeaner, you describe the skill as this allows a good demeaner or appearance no matter the point. Then you put it to the core stat of charisma, otherwise (Cha). So you would list this skill in your class skills with the skill points you assign in the ranks as example you have 10 points to assign to it: Good demeaner (Cha) 10 ranks.
Each class gets to choose them, but they’re not necessarily trained.
Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight, Perception, Stealth. Static Skills
Insight and Perception are used as static "defenses" against Bluff and
Stealth respectively. To calculate, add 10 to your Insight and
Perception skill modifiers. For example, if you’re trying to use
Stealth to sneak past a group of orcs, you roll against their passive
Perception scores.
