Skill

Command words: skill
Permission: Admin

The skill command lets staff inspect skill definitions, manage character skill values, and edit skill definitions.

Use skill add, skill remove and skill level for a character's skills. Use skill list, skill show and the edit forms for the skill definitions themselves.

Skill definition editing commands require Senior Admin or higher. Character targets can be visible targets, loaded character IDs, or personal names. pause and unpause are recognised by the parser but currently report that they are coming soon.
