Overview
This rating system is intended to measure the strength and capabilities of The Mercenaries.
For each rated skill, there is a mastery rating, a 1st class rating (competent), a 2nd class rating (useful) and a trainee rating. Fighting also has 3rd class and 4th class. Some skills have additional high-end rankings to strive for. The qualifications for each rating are listed below. To qualify for a trainee rating you just declare your intent to become 2st class or better in that skill.
