Skill titles

Version 0.18: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Your character will be given a skill title based on his current skill set. To determine the title, a character's skills are placed into five tiers: Lvl 1-7, 8-14, 15-20, 21-26, and 27. Your character's title is determined by their highest skill -- any time a different skill surpasses your current highest skill, your title will change to reflect it. Your title will also change when your current highest skill reaches a new tier. The first skill to reach level 27 will determine your character's final title.

**Determined by (upper) body size: Fly (Spriggans and Felids), Feather (Halfling, Kobold and Tengu, despite being middle-sized), Middle (Humans and everyone else not included in other categories), Cruiser (species with torso smaller than lower body, ie. Nagas and Centaurs) and Heavy (Ogres and Trolls).

***Octopode: Plane Wriggler; Tengu: Plane Glider; Naga: Plane Slider; Vine Stalker: Plane Stalker

**** The invocations titles above will be used if the character is currently following no god. A skilled invocations-user will otherwise use the title assigned by their god and piety level, such as "Missionary" for 3-star Beogh.

***** Title determined by whether you worship a good or an evil god.

• Any Elf + 27 Bows = "Master Archer"
• Any Elf + 27 Short Blades = "Blademaster"
• Ogre + Any level of Spellcasting = "Ogre Mage"
• Felids + Unarmed Combat = "Scratcher", "Gouger", "Ripper", "Eviscerator", "Sabretooth"
