Skill Prompts are a monthly feature that allow your character to gain skills in different ways. <b>Each <u>character</u> can only complete ONE prompt per season</b>, and can be completed either in a solo post or in a group thread. You cannot claim these posts for other skill points! Please note that as long as you complete the objectives, you're free to be creative with your posts and have some fun with these prompts!

For <b>solo posts</b>, you must complete the entire prompt in <b>one post</b>. Of course, you can use these posts as thread starters and continue the thread as usual, but no other skills may be claimed by you from that thread.

For <b>group threads</b>, the word count is <b>cumulative</b> and will be counted over all participants. However, participants must be ACTIVELY trying to complete the skill prompt for their words to count. <u>Note that group threads have a maximum of 3 allowed participants unless otherwise specified.</u>
