Yep, yellow is overall skill, red bar is progress till next level, when you die you lose all of your red, and a few levels of yellow in each skill.


Just some other skill info for you, when you look at a weapon, it give you an attack number, this is the MAX damage of the weapon, but you will deal less, it's slightly random, but the 2 number is yellow paranthesis is your actually damage, you cannot reach the max damage until the weapon skill is 75

And skill levels 75-100 just help bring up the low rolls

The block skill on the other hand, actually adds to the block armor of your shield :D
