In How to be a Hero three types of skill sets form the basis for your character and its abilities: physical, knowledge and social.

These skill sets indicate your character's abilities in a particular field of skills.

If you want to perform an action you never learned explicitly, you must attempt a roll on the value of the skill set to which the corresponding action belongs.

What do these skill sets mean?

Physical: A physical action is what your character actively does, usually with physical consequences. It doesn't matter if you want to cut down trees or ride a horse, all these skills can be found under Physical.

Social: Social skills are particularly necessary when interacting with NPCs. For example, if your character wants to haggle with a merchant, try to manipulate someone’s thinking, or see if they are being lied to based on their knowledge of human nature.
