Each of your character's skills has a number associated with it. This is the skill 'rank' and determines how good the character is with that skill. When using a skill to perform an action, the rank is compared against a Difficulty Check (DC) number. For example, to open a lock with a DC of 15, take your skill rank in Security + Wisdom modifier +d20 roll. If the total is 15 or greater, the lock is opened.
Intelligence modifier (IM) resulting from points invested at character generation and upon level-up determine how many skill points a class can invest at those times:
| Class | Skill points | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier | Scout | Scoundrel | Guardian | Sentinel | Consular | Combat Droid | Expert Droid | |
| Character generation | (1+IM) * 4 | (3+IM) * 4 | (4+IM) * 4 | |||||
| Level-up | [ (2+IM) / 2 ] | [ (6+IM) / 2 ] | [ (8+IM) / 2 ] | [ (2+IM) / 2 ] | [ (4+IM) / 2 ] | [ (2+IM) / 2 ] | [ (2+IM) / 2 ] | [ (4+IM) / 2 ] |
Characters always receive at least one skill point upon level-up:
| Intelligence | Skill points upon level-up | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier | Scout | Scoundrel | Guardian | Sentinel | Consular | Combat Droid | Expert Droid | |
| 8-9 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 10-13 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| 14-17 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
| 18 | 3 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
All points do not have to be invested at character generation or level-up, so they can be saved for a future level-up. Upon becoming a Jedi, the main player character retains the class skills of the earlier class and gains those of the Jedi class. Class skills cost one point to raise one rank, while cross-class skills cost two points to raise one rank:
| Skill | Attribute modifier | Skill points per rank | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soldier | Scout | Scoundrel | Guardian | Sentinel | Consular | Combat Droid | Expert Droid | ||
| Computer | Intelligence | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Demolitions | Intelligence | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Stealth | Dexterity | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Awareness | Wisdom | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Persuade | Charisma | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||
| Repair | Intelligence | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Security | Wisdom | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Treat Injury | Wisdom | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||
Scoundrels who become Jedi Consulars will have all skills as class skills. Points can be invested in class skills to maximum rank equal to level + 3, while they can only be invested in cross-class skills to maximum rank equal to [ (level + 3) / 2].
File:KotOR Skill Computer Use.png Computer Use
Related Attribute: Intelligence
Computer Use allows a character to slice computer programs using disposable logic rams called computer spikes. A character might disable gun turrets or flood a patrol area, with more complicated tasks requiring more spikes. A high rank in this skill reduces the number of spikes required by 1 (to a minimum of 1) for every 4 points total, including attribute score modifiers.
Computer Use is a class skill for the following:
Aside from investing skill points or increasing Intelligence modifier, the following apply bonuses to Computer Use skill rank:
| Source | Bonus | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Feat | +1 | Gear Head |

File:KotOR Skill Demolitions.png Demolitions
Related Attribute: Intelligence
Demolitions can be used to set, recover or disarm mines. Such devices are either of low (DC15 to set), medium (DC20 to set) or high difficulty (DC25 to set). Attempting to disarm the mine adds +5 to the DC. Attempting to recover the mine adds +10 to the DC. This skill cannot be used untrained.
Demolitions is a class skill for the following:
According to the Messages - Feedback window, the increases to Difficulty Class to disarm and recover mines are cumulative rather than separate:
| Difficulty | Low | Medium | High | Minimum skill rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Minor | Average | Deadly | |
| Set | 15 | 20 | 25 | 5 |
| Disable | 20 | 25 | 30 | 10 |
| Recover | 30 | 35 | 40 | 20 |
Hostile mines must be detected by passing an Awareness check before they can be disabled or recovered. Friendly mines can be recovered without a Difficulty Class check.
Successfully disabling or recovering hostile mines requires that the sum of the character's Demolitions skill rank and a d20 roll is equal to or greater than Difficulty Class. When not engaged in combat a 20 is always rolled, so minimum skill rank required is 20 less than Difficulty Class.
Aside from investing skill points or increasing Intelligence modifier, the following apply bonuses to Demolitions skill rank:

Related Attribute: Dexterity
Stealth governs the use of camouflage devices to enter Stealth Mode. If a character equips such a device and activates Stealth Mode, opponents must make an Awareness check versus the character's Stealth skill or be unable to detect them, even if the character is in direct line of sight. A character in Stealth Mode can set, disable and recover mines, use computers and repair droids, and open doors or containers. Party members will not automatically enter combat while in this mode. Combat cancels Stealth Mode. Stealth Mode will not work without a camouflage unit. Units of higher quality grant a bonus to the skill.

Related Attribute: Wisdom
Awareness governs the ability of a character to spot objects or enemies hidden by Stealth. If a successful check of this skill is made against the Stealth skill of an enemy or the DC of a mine, the enemy or object is noticed and becomes visible. Awareness is always active, but results are best while a character is moving slowly. Running imparts a -5 penalty to any checks of the skill.
Awareness is a class skill for the following:
According to the Messages - Feedback window, the Difficulty Class to detect a mine is equivalent to that required to recover it using Demolitions:
| Difficulty | Low | Medium | High | Minimum skill rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Minor | Average | Deadly | |
| Detect | 30 | 35 | 40 | 20 |
Successfully detecting hostile mines requires that the sum of the character's Awareness skill rank and a d20 roll is equal to or greater than Difficulty Class. When not engaged in combat a 20 is always rolled, so minimum skill rank required is 20 less than Difficulty Class.
