# Skills
In Outer Ring, **character development is based on skills**. Other RPG games are based on classes or roles, such as fighters, shooters or magicians. In our universe, you will choose between one of the 5 species and **develop different skills to fulfil your role inside your factions, clan or group of friends.**
Players will have to work hard to **specialise in increasing skills such as running, jumping or climbing** (Physical Skills). By practising different tasks such as mining or crafting weapons and armours, you will **create better NFTs**. Also, the same methodology applies to combat and piloting skills. **We encourage players to invest time playing and avoid a Pay-to-Win model.**
