General note

Keep in mind that many non-percentile values actually scale to the player's level. For example, at player level one, the skill level one Shock and Awe may deal 18-23 damage, but when player is level ten, the same level one Shock and Awe will deal a lot more damage instead. The same scaling effect goes for the rest of the nine skill levels.
