Question Is this possible with Set_skill?

Is it possible to GIVE a character a skill that is not in their class listing?

Is it complicated? 

For what I am doing, I was able to give do_goto to everyone at top level, not with set_skill. But that is a command so probably not applicable here.

Any suggestions, not necessarily code but where to find it.

Thanks
Bill

You can do that with a trigger

I am building remort code. I have the remorts working, now I would like to add skills to characters when they remort.

Inspired by Nukefire.

Reading through the code, it seems GET_SKILL might do the trick.

Looking through the code to see if I can figure out how to do it if will work.

Get_skill doesn't work either.

Maybe this can help you
