Untrained Skills?

Unread post by sir_blacksoutalot »

I'm wondering which skills can be used without investing any skill points. I found this on the NWN2wiki:
Untrained is having no skill ranks in a skill. Many skills can be used untrained by making a successful skill check using 0 ranks and including all other modifiers as normal. Other skills can be used only by characters who are trained in that skill.
But the NWN2wiki site doesn't identify which skills are "trained" versus "untrained". Can anyone help advise about this?

It does. For example the page on Perform says "Requires Training: Yes"

If it requires training then you can't use it without investing any skillpoints at all.

"Is that why you are killing them?"
"Yes. They will atone in death."
"Ah. That will help them understand."

Okay, I feel stupid. In all these years, I've never noticed that fine detail. DOH :!:
