I used the numbers as presented specifically on the embark screen, where rank 5 = unskilled and 10 = proficient, because in context this is likely to be less confusing (these are the actual numbers on the screen). Loci edited this to make it consistent with the numbers as they are used in skills generally, where rank 0 = unskilled and 5 = proficient, as they believe ''this'' approach is less confusing (and outside of this particular context it ''is'' better; the 5-based count at embark seems arbitrary and pointless). | I used the numbers as presented specifically on the embark screen, where rank 5 = unskilled and 10 = proficient, because in context this is likely to be less confusing (these are the actual numbers on the screen).

| − | Since the two usages are inconsistent, perhaps this needs to be explicitly stated for new players. I don't particularly mind whether we use the embark numbering and explain that it's five ranks higher than the usual skill numbering, or ''vice-versa''. But I think it needs to be addressed. | + | Since the two usages are inconsistent, perhaps this needs to be explicitly stated for new players.
