Pro Tip: "Basic Skills" are those every duelist begins with. At level 10, most duelists choose to specialize in either a "Guts," "Swagger," or "Acuity" advanced skill path.
These Basic Skills cover most of the general action types used in dueling: focus, motion, voice, draw, rest, stand, shoot, aim, evade, and recover.
