'''Skills''' are what [[the Cop]] is good at. Or bad at. Either way, they determine how he blunders his way through [[Revachol West]].
 +
'''Skills''' are a mechanic in ''Disco Elysium'', determining [[Harrier Du Bois|the Cop's]] abilities and thoughts. For a sum total of ALL checks, see below the list.

* Skills are tied to skill checks, which come in two flavors: Red checks are single shot and cannot be retried, although they can lead to alternative positive outcomes. White checks can be retried after failing, although you need to put a skill point in the relevant skill to unlock them again. Both types of checks can be usually made easier by discovering facts tied to the case or the person you're talking to or equipping various items. It's not easy to cut open a chain with the chain cutter in the backpack, right?

* The initial level of a skill is equal to your [[Attributes]]. A signature skill, selected at start, receives a +1. Subsequent increases require spending skill points and are capped depending on the attributes (eg. you can only add two points on Physique skills if you have just 1 Phys). Certain thoughts can raise or remove the cap.

* [[Clothes]], [[drugs]], and the [[Thought Cabinet]] provide a combination of bonuses and maluses, allowing you to bridge the gap and make checks easier.

===Actives vs. passives===
  +
* Active checks are divided into Red (cannot be retried) and White (can be attempted again after failure). Active checks will receive various modifiers depending on your actions (knowing certain facts, helping people tied to the check etc.). If failed, White checks will become locked until you invest a point in the relevant skill, complete an action in the world (such as buying dice from the [[Novelty Dicemaker]]), or internalize [[thoughts]].
  +
* Passive checks are simpler: To pass it, you simply need to meet a specific skill threshold. The requirement is '''Passive check difficulty - 6'''. The Difficulty is determined according to the following breakdown:

Skills are a mechanic in Disco Elysium, determining the Cop's abilities and thoughts. For a sum total of ALL checks, see below the list.

General

  • Skills are tied to skill checks, which come in two flavors: Red checks are single shot and cannot be retried, although they can lead to alternative positive outcomes. White checks can be retried after failing, although you need to put a skill point in the relevant skill to unlock them again. Both types of checks can be usually made easier by discovering facts tied to the case or the person you're talking to or equipping various items.
  • The initial level of a skill is equal to your Attributes. A signature skill, selected at the start, receives a +1. Subsequent increases require spending skill points and are capped depending on the attributes (eg. you can only add two points on Physique skills if you have 1 FYS). Certain thoughts can raise or remove the cap.
  • Clothes, drugs, and the Thought Cabinet provide a combination of bonuses and maluses, allowing you to bridge the gap and make checks easier.

Actives vs. passives

  • Active checks are divided into Red (cannot be retried) and White (can be attempted again after failure). Active checks will receive various modifiers depending on your actions (knowing certain facts, helping people tied to the check etc.). If failed, White checks will become locked until you invest a point in the relevant skill, complete an action in the world (such as buying dice from the Novelty Dicemaker), or internalize thoughts.
  • Passive checks are simpler: To pass it, you simply need to meet a specific skill threshold. The requirement is Passive check difficulty - 6. The Difficulty is determined according to the following breakdown:
Trivial Easy Medium Challenging Formidable Legendary Godly Impossible
Difficulty 6 8 10/11 12 13 14 16 18
Skill requirement 0 2 4/5 6 7 8 10 12
