Scope

Implement the full skill tree and character progression system as defined in specification §17. This expands the current minimal skills system (Kick, Map) into a comprehensive 5-discipline tree with prerequisites, tiers, and progression display.

Key Components

Skill Tree Data Model: Tree structure with nodes, prerequisites, and tiers. XP per-skill (10,000/level).
5 Disciplines: Combat, Survival, Crafting, Social, Magic — each with branching sub-trees.
Combat Discipline: Combat → Swordplay, Shield, Unarmed → Finesse, Power, Guard, Kick, Grapple → Martial Arts.
Survival Discipline: Survival → Foraging, Tracking, Navigation → Herbalism, Hunting, Map, Astronomy → Alchemy, Pathfinding.
Crafting/Social/Magic: Expandable stubs for future content.
Skill Tree Overlay: Interactive display showing the tree with prerequisites, progress, and available skill points.
Character Sheet: Comprehensive character information display.
Inventory Display: Enhanced inventory view with equipment details.

Articulated End State

Players have deep, multi-branch skill trees spanning 5 disciplines. Skill progression is meaningful — higher skills unlock new combat moves, crafting recipes, and abilities. The tree is displayed via an interactive overlay with clear visual hierarchy.

Milestones

Spans v1.3.0 (Game Systems).
