There are 15 skills in Antharion. While Antharion has classes, any character can learn any skill, and can freely distribute skills points regardless of class. A Black Mage may become skilled in Two-Handed Melee just as a Warrior may put points into Lock Picking.

Combat
One-Handed Melee - Proficiency with one-handed weapons.

Two-Handed Melee - Proficiency with two-handed weapons.

Archery - Proficiency with bows.

Unarmed - Proficiency with unarmed combat.

Defense - Proficiency with armor and shields.

Magic
Black Magic - Black Magic spells require this skill in order to cast.

White Magic - White Magic spells require this skill in order to cast.

Gray Magic - Gray Magic spells require this skill in order to cast.

Utility
For all utility skills except Alchemy, the party's highest skill is always used. For example, if one party member has 20 Lock Picking skill, and the rest have 5, the party member with 20 skill will automatically be used whenever picking locks. This means that there is no benefit to having multiple party members put points into the same skill.

Barter - Affects buying and selling prices.

Persuasion - Ability to manipulate people in conversation.

Lock Picking - Ability to pick locks.
