99 How Levels Work

1111 Each successful use grants XP toward the matching skill. There is no rebuy; the leveling is permanent for the character. Citizens have their own version of skill leveling on the side they are aligned to (e.g. a Blacksmith citizen levels their Blacksmithing expertise). See Citizens and Artisans for the citizen side.

1313 Citizen Skill Sacrifices
1414  
1515 At the Altar, sacrificing a citizen awards bonus Worship Points scaled by the citizen's skill levels: +5 base across all gods, then +10 per relevant skill level to the god whose worship route aligns with the skill. A high-Blacksmithing citizen sacrificed for Vulcan worship is worth significantly more than a brand-new survivor.

1919 The Mars worship route boosts melee skills indirectly through the Blessing of Mars (+10% overall Melee attack power). The Diana route boosts ranged builds through Spreadshot and the post-0.20.1_14 routing of ranged/caster gear offerings. See The Gods and Worship.
