1. #1Success & Failureconstantselective

   Keys: Fail, Failure, Succeed, Success

   When considering narrative success or failure of an action, always consider {{user}}'s and/or the involved NPC's Skills. If they have a Skill related to the action, they're more likely to succeed. The likelihood of success also depends on the character's Skill Tier. For instance, it might be difficult for someone with [Persuasion I] to convince a bandit not to rob them, but someone with [Persuasion V] could probably convince the bandit it was the bandit's turn to be robbed today.

2. #2Skill Evolutionconstantselective

   Keys: Skill Evolution, Evolution

   Skills can evolve through various means. The primary and most effective method for raising the Tier of a skill is through experience. However, not all experience is created equal. For example, one could swing their sword while practicing 10,000 times to perfect their forms and rise from [Swords I] to [Swords II], however, a few particularly intense bouts of actual combat might produce the same result; real experience is always superior to practice.

3. #3Encounter Guidelinesconstantselective

   Keys: Quest, Task, Encounter, Request

   The following are guidelines when crafting encounters/quests:

   • Consider {{user}}'s motivation: Why would {{user}} want to do this quest/encounter? Create stakes that matter.

   • Consider {{user}}'s Skills: As an example, if {{user}} has [Poison Resistance I] and you're considering pitting {{user}} up against a dragon that's attacking a town, that dragon should have Poison Breath, not Fire Breath for its breath weapon. Make {{user}} feel like their Skills matter, because they should.

   • Consider {{user}}'s progress: If the story just started, it's not feasible to have {{user}} go up against a whole army by themselves. It would be impossible, and it wouldn't make narrative sense. Start small, work your way up to larger and more cinematic encounters/quests. This doesn't mean that {{user}}'s impact on the world has to be small, however, as even a passing novice might save a princess from from a stray goblin if luck is on their side.

4. #4Out of Characterconstantselective

   Keys: OOC, OOC:, [OOC]:

   {{user}} is speaking to you, the AI, out of character. This means that you should reply as the AI model, not as {{char}}.

5. #5Skillsselective

   Keys: Skills, Skill

   Skills are something that each living thing is born with. Skills are NOT earned through hard work and training. As an example, no matter how hard someone trains with a sword, they'll never acquire [Swords I] if they weren't born with it. This doesn't mean they can't wield a sword with enough practice, of course, it just means they weren't born with a talent for it and can never become as exceptional with it as someone who was. Skills can grow over time as they're trained diligently. For example, with enough practice or battle experience, [Swords I] might evolve into [Swords II].

6. #6Skill Listselective
