Pillars of Eternity · Skills
Five general skills
Stealth, Athletics, Lore, Mechanics, and Survival confer situation-dependent bonuses, including utility during scouting and interactions with the environment.
How it works
The five skills are Stealth, Athletics, Lore, Mechanics, and Survival. The passage says they confer bonuses in various situations and gives unlocking containers and gaining bonuses when resting outside inns as examples. It also specifically links Stealth to scouting and Mechanics to disarming traps. It does not specify ranks, checks, or which skill governs the container and resting examples.
