You also have a hidden willpower skill that's not listed above, but I've had it given to me before. I think you're stuck with what you roll, but Anaiah can confirm if she's willing to.
Back to lurking.

Ah, btw, "tol" refers to your pain tolerance. The higher your pain tolerance, the harder it is to reel you. This can be raised over time IIRC. Same with spice/alcohol.

I don't recall willpower specifically, but if it was there, I believe it linked in to both spice tolerance and pain tolerance. The list of the different categories there regarding weapons is definitely correct, though.

Reel being raised by being reeled was never a secret, just btw. Morg put that information out for everyone.
The weapon per race skill bit confuses me a little.
Tons of stuff is -1, but a couple things have very high numbers?
What is the use of willpower? Resist mind control spells and such?

I never had willpower explained to me. Every one of the skills in the table listed would start out at -1. It is use that results in the higher numbers being where they are. I can tell by looking at that list there that whoever the skills were sampled from, for instance, used bludgeoning, piercing, and stabbing weapons. So likely a mace and a dagger, or a mace and a half-sword (unless the mace was a club). You can tell because those are the only numbers above -1. And looking at the columns, you can also get a generalized idea of what they were fighting most, as well. Mostly mammals. I'm going to go with likely tregils, greth, duskhorn, only a small improvement for insects, possibly ritikki, so not a lot there, flightless, which... no idea.. and plants. The plants one is particularly interesting as the numbers indicate that stabbing-specific weapons were used on them -much- more than simple piercing weapons.

Can someone elaborate more on whip? I see whips but nobody really uses them. Are they basically just an rp tool or can they actually be viable in a realistic combat situation?

Whips, like magick weapons, use offense/defense rather than a technical weapons skill, as far as I can recall.

It makes me wonder if Alcohol Tolerance is broken down into types. Like Whisky, Spirits/Ect. Because I swear I've had guys that could drink whisky like water, but firebreather would put them out.

Flightless are for kylori, kenku, and other birds that are unable to fly.

Kylori and kenku fly just fine. Birds that can't fly are vestric.

Willpower also affects chances of succumbing to mul rage. I believe it also affects certain psionics, like your chances of breaking a barrier or successfully expelling someone.

Willpower certainly deals with success or not when summoning a gated elemental. Not sure what else it might rely on.

From a player staff meeting, I vaguely remember Sanvean (or someone) saying that whip weapons were a subset of slashing weapons, similarly to how stabbing weapons are a subset of piercing weapons. This could have been changed, but at least at one point this was true.
