Notes:

• You must purchase a separate series of upgrades for each category of weapon that you want to wield (so if you want to wield both a sword and a crossbow at an advanced level (Level 3), you'll need to purchase six separate upgrades (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced for two separate categories).
• Martial Arts are considered a category of their own, so you'd also need two separate combat skill systems to use Karate and Jiu-Jitsu.
• Armour is also considered part of the level system, as fighting while wearing heavy protection requires a great deal of strength and stamina. Light armour might include leather gauntlets or a vest while heavy armour could be full-scale plate armour and a tall shield.

¹ Peacekeepers are not permitted to lift a weapon against anyone, so if they've learned Combat before joining their Caste they must swear an oath to never use those skills. ⇑

² "…for every level of…" means that if you want to upgrade a certain skill, then you must already have the pre-requisite skill at the matching level, or make sure to upgrade them at the same time. Example: I want to upgrade my Dracovari's Combat skill to Level 2, so I need to upgrade Hoard to the matching level (2) or higher first. ⇑
