Applied Skill Assessment Rating System (ASARS)

The Applied Skill Assessment Rating System or ASARS for short, is a system used to comprehensively assess and compare and individual skills, talents, strengths, and weaknesses. Originally it was developed by the Vargraven army to create better balanced squadrons and the easily assign roles. It also made it easier and quicker to create temporary specialized squadrons. The system proved fairly successful in classifying abilities and skills that it was applied to various other things such as enemies, groups, animals, magic manipulations and even the Races.
The System works by giving a score in 6 main classes of specialization. These 6 main classes are even further divided into 3 categories each to better explain an individual exact skills. Usually the average score of the 3 sub-categories becomes the overall score for each class specialization. These scores are then visually organized as a HexASAR which as states an individuals gift and magic affinities. The scoring system is as follows:

• 0 - Completely incapable or not applicable
• 1 - Limited or Situational Skill Level: meaning thr skill can only be applied in certain situations or conditions
• 2 - Below Skill Level: Under performs when compared to common average person
• 3 - Average Skill Level: On par with the common average person, but nothing special
• 4 - Competent Skill Level: Slightly more skilled than average person. Skilled enough to be considered a talent, but an average when compare to trained individuals
• 5 - Above Average Skill Level: Highly skilled even when compared to other trained individuals
• 6 - Master Skill Level: Exceptional , sage level or borderline prodigal skill level. Usually skilled enough to mentor others
