Attributes and Skills

You can develop your character by using aquired learning points and gold. There are a number of trainers who can be employed to help. The main skills which can be learnt are ancient knowledge, smithing, thieving, fighting, miscellaneous skills and alchemy.

There are various other skills which can come in very useful including, lock picking, pulling teeth (for arrow heads) and ore prospecting.  Your character starts out being able to use a basic sword and simple bow and arrows.  Later you will be able to learn to fight using two swords from the Hashishi school of combat.

Health can be recovered by consuming health potions, eating food or drinking water. In towns you will find water barrels which are always handy for health refreshment. The various NPCs in the game go about their business while you explore. The screenshot below shows a slave taking a break for some much needed water.
