This section will specifically address starting skills as they relate to adventure mode. For a full description of combat skills see [[Combat skill]]. Other skills that you can't start with, but which can be increased in-game (such as Butchery) are described elsewhere. | This section will specifically address starting skills as they relate to adventure mode.

Since version 0.47, weapons may be chosen on the embark screen before starting an adventure. The weapons available to a given adventurer are decided in their civilization's entity raws: humans will be able to start with a whip, while the same will not be available to a dwarf, and so on. Outsiders will have a wide array of weapons to choose from, some of which may be made of non-weapon grade material. | Since version 0.47, weapons may be chosen on the embark screen before starting an adventure.

Elves can only use Swordsman, Bowman, and Spearman. Of the playable races, only humans have access to Pikeman and Lasher. Strangely, only outsiders can start with Knife User. |
Note that different races have different names for their weapon skills. Axegoblin, Axedwarf etc. These names are defined in the creature raws, as can be seen in the [[dwarf]] raws, but Crossbowman is an exception - dwarves call this skill Marksdwarf, although bow skill is referred to as Bowdwarf, as you'd expect. Elite Axe and Hammerdwarves are referred to as Lords. | Note that different races have different names for their weapon skills.
