I’m super happy to present you my latest Genesys Foundry contribution: Skills Guide .
Within its pages, you will find lots of new options to add narrative effects to skills checks: Different ways to use the core skills, suggested difficulties, modifiers, symbol usage, and example scenarios with dice roll interpretation.
Have you ever rolled a check but did not have any idea on how to spend the symbols? This guide has you covered with suggestions for EVERY SINGLE SKILL!!!
Skills Guide is compatible with every setting and will even provide tips for setting up new knowledge, combat, and magic skills for your own setting!

The full-size preview has been extended to include the first Introduction page, as well as the Cool skill, as an example of what you'll find in the doc.

Skills Guide has reached Silver Tier in just two weeks! I'm glad the community is enjoying it. I have received kind words regarding the content. This was a colossal work and I'm glad to realize it was well worth the effort. Thank you for your support, and don't forget to give it a rating and maybe a review, letting the community know your opinion of it.

I will be buying it soon after taking a look at the preview. I'm glad it is doing well for you. I had hoped to do such a document for personal use, but it would have taken a ton of time (as you obviously know!). Thanks!

Oh it did take time. A lot of time! But I feel like the community really could benefit from this work so I invested the hours. I'm pretty glad with the result :)

Will give it updates for typo corrections and may even add more to it.

This is a great product! Highly recommended!

I do have a question, under Perception, the Disbelief Sub-skill calls for a Discipline check. Why then is it listed under Perception? How should Perception figure into seeing through an illusion?

That's a carry over from the first version. I'll update it. I first decided to put it under discipline with the Pathfinder mindset in mind. But in the end, switched to Perception as finding the imperfections in an illusion is something I think fits perception better than Discipline.

Ah, makes sense. Really like the Disbelief modifiers and symbols (I'll just substitute Perception for Discipline). I'm running a whole session focused on illusions very soon so it will be super helpful.
