Can images have more than one skill set in it. I still kind of don't understand it.

I did this piece www.deviantart.com/deviation/5… with so far a total of 22 points.

It is dressage so that would be M-TEM right but it appears to go with Canter (C) as well or am I wrong. Above it says it wouldn't but on here fav.me/d75bpc0 it seems it would.

I am sorry if this doesn't make sense. I am just confused and could use a little help. I read both of these but still cannot seem to grasp. So far I only added the points to M-TEM and the EXP total.

The diagram (which is what you should follow, I can't understand how the text got you that canter should be correct?) is a two axis diagram. It works just like this diagram, which is a diagram for showing what two dices together will be;

i.stack.imgur.com/9CoBC.gif

In the example we have red die on the vertical axis and white die on the horizontal axis. If we look at the 3 on the red die axis and the 4 on the white die axis and follow the 3:s row and the 4:s column they will meet at (3,4). This is how you read a diagram.

So along the vertical axis, in the skill system, is the tack (included the None and Other option) of which you should look at the row for dressage. On the horizontal axis is the movement of the horse (also including None and Other options) in which you should choose the canter movement column. At the points where the row and column meet you will find what skill it is. (It's M-TEM)

If you'd like to explain to me how you got canter out of the skill journal that would be great, because I can find anything in the journal to indicate that your image would be C.

Have a nice day!

Which is what I did and I got M-TEM. I am sorry if I appear stupid I just tend to over think things and I get confused. I just wanted to make sure I got this right and do it right. From here I was reading the description Canter - SRP  and I read "Canter is either used to determine how correctly the horse performs the gait either for western, dressage or halter. Or, if the horse is competing in racing, it can also determine how well it canters during races, including things like willingness and speed. Canter can be used in dressage, western, halter and race competitions." I guess I just misread it and took it wrong. I saw Dressage and well he was moving in the image and I guess I took that Canter would work here. I am sorry.

I know how to read a diagram which is how I got M-TEM but it was the link that I linked above on how I got confused on if Canter was usable where in the diagram it didn't fit right.

Oh! The text you quoted is not meant to answer the question "when is an image training canter?" but meant to answer the question "if a horse has high canter points, what is it good at/ or with low points what is it bad at?" So, a dressage horse with a high canter skill will have a good canter with good rhythm and a nice schwung. A racehorse with high canter skills is fast and likes to race, s/he never trips and s/he likes tho run and race. A western horse with bad canter skills will be bumpy and stumble a lot. A halter horse with bad canter skills will have an unbalanced and ugly canter with weird leg movements and no back movement. These are just examples, but the text is meant to tell you what the canter skill is used to determine. The last sentence "Canter can be used in dressage, western, halter and race competitions." means that if there are ever a competition when your skill will help you win your canter skill will affect dressage, western, halter and race, meaning it won't affect show jumping or trot for example. This is so that if you have a dressage (or whatever) horse you can look up what you need to train it in

Oh I see now. No wonder I was like on the diagram it just didn't match and I got confused. Haha! Now I see. Thanks for the help. That sure helped me a lot.

If there is headgear or leg gear indicating what kind of gear the horse is wearing then that dictades. A western bridle or show jumping leg protection indicates where to start on the left side of the matrix. For trot and canter it's hard to see that the bridle isn't just an english one but bacically if you do a tror bridle and it looks like an english one but is referenced of a tror race bridle then it still counts as trow. For just riding bareback with a halter on it's the "other gear" category. No tack is well... no tack XD

LOL you haven't seen this? XD I love doing skill systems, if you enjoy them, check these out:

War StudiesWelcome to War Studies!
This is where your mushcock learns to fight and get out of generally sticky situations. If the studies are being partaken with a guide or just in general by experience from being thrown in sticky situations in life does not matter. You roleplay, you mushcocks traits change, they learn new talents and you use them in your next roleplay. Most on the time you are very free with how to use the traits and talents, but if you ever fight another mushcock, the traits and talents on your side are vital!
Current battle-admins: Ackerley
You have your four traits.

FORM
Your mushcocks flexibility, agilit, speed and strength.

MOTOR SKILLS
Your mushcocks hoof-eye coordination, general coordination, steadiness of body and body awareness.

INTELLEGENCE
How ready-witter your mushcock is, its mathematical aptitude, reading speed, memory Equine studiesIntroduction
Do you want to ride your mushcock? Compete? Then this is the stats system for you! This is quite simple! You have red stats, blue stats and green stats. Red stats show what disciples your horse know and how well accomplished they are in that discipline. Blue stats show how your horse is to handle day-by-day and can be used when writing stories. Green stats are collected to later be spent in competitions to give yourself the upper hand!
RED STATS
Red stats have a max points of 10. Each drawing you do gets judged and then you get points. The amount of points correlate to how good your horse is in that discipline. All red stats are disciplines. The stats may limit your ability to compete in a competition, sometimes a competition will only be for horses that have reached a certain point in a discipline. However, if your horse has 7 points in dressage and a competition is for horses of 3 points, you can always draw an

Can we get an update with how foal scores are calculated? A formula for the total exp at least >> I would like to know that so I can work out when I'll be satisfied to get my first foal

Ackerley In reply to xxElanite [2015-01-13 19:28:56 +0000 UTC]

You'll have to ask the founder of the breed, but the suggested system was that every skill of the foal is the average of it's parents skill.
Then the parents averaged experience equals the foals experience (by default). However, you take 10 percent of the foals exp and see how much that is. For a foal with 250 in experience it would be 25. That is your "free exp", extra exp that you get to put wherever you'd like. (All 25 in canter perhaps, if you're trying to make a good racehorse?)

This was praised but never officially adapted, so as stated above, check if this is how you count or not

xxElanite In reply to Ackerley [2015-01-13 19:32:17 +0000 UTC]

alright. does that mean that a mare and a stallion both at 500 exp produce a 500 exp foal?
(500+500)/2=500

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ackerley In reply to xxElanite [2015-01-13 19:36:02 +0000 UTC]

Originally, yes 500 EXP and every stat will be the average of the parents.
But you'll also have 50 points to put in (or divide between) whatever stat you'd like. After you're done with taht, the foal would have 550 in EXP
(50 = 10% of 500)

Since background is based on effort,
just a photo should be = flat,
a photo with edits = simple
And compleatly remaking on top of a photo with not a pixel being the same (and also changing things) = detailed...

But DalRiataStables needs to verify this
