EFUSS or the EFU Skill System is a custom system designed specifically for EFU to incorporate the use of custom skills into the setting.

Though many EFUSS skills exist solely for flavor purposes (such as designating a skill your PC may have learned in his lifetime before reaching Ymph), quite a few have uses in game, such as skill checks in appropriate quest situations (like making an Astronomy check when using a telescope), or being the basis for an entire system on their own (such as the Alchemy skill).

Another example is Secondary skills. These EFUSS skills apply a slight bonus to the regular skill depending on how many points you put into them.

Gaining EFUSS skill points happens at level up, just like gaining actual skill points. The formula for skill points gained per level is 1 + 1 per positive Intelligence modifier + 1 if human. An additional 3 is granted at first level.

To invest EFUSS skill points into a certain skill, use the following command:

/c efuss add [Skill name] X

Where X is the amount of skill points you want to invest into a certain skill and the skill name is case insensitive.

Keep in mind that all EFUSS skills have a hard cap of 10. This cap is never lower (meaning you can raise a EFUSS skill to 10 at level 1), but also never higher (meaning that no matter how high your level, the maximum will always be 10). It is, however, possible to write an application to receive a higher cap for certain EFUSS skills.

To find out more about EFUSS, go in-game and use the following command:

/c efuss help
