Project: Gorgon: Combat skills and compatible pairings

Project: Gorgon: Combat skills and compatible pairings. Compare their roles and mechanics, then open the available detailed configurations to see exact selections.

Project: Gorgon builds the character through discovered skills and the way you use them, rather than assigning a permanent class at the start. The important first decision is a pair of combat skills you can practise together. Keep exploration and NPC relationships alongside fighting, because new services and useful knowledge do not all come from a higher combat number.

Choose two active combat skills, normally with six abilities from each. The roster below includes the combat category and identifies Fairy Magic as a sub-skill. Beast forms and held items can prevent combinations: selecting two names is not enough to make them compatible.
