Skills

Skills measure how good you are in a certain profession, for example, combat, enchanting, brewing, stealth, forging and so on.

A score of 100 means competent, while the maximum a skill can go up to is 1000 but with a class bonses, enchantments and certain races, the skill may increase even more. 200 is the maximum someone can obtain in a skill with only practice, above that you would need skill points, which are obtained through leveling up.
