Profession Skills
|
Each profession has a collection of skills you can choose to make "trained" skills. Typically, it's 6. Go through and upgrade six profession skills so that they are double their base skill rating.
|
|
Free choice skills
|
Your age determines how many "free" skills you get that are not linked to your profession. For example, a Young PC will get 2 bonus skills, while an old adventurer gets 6. You can choose any skills, professional or not, but NOT skills you already trained. These additional skills get their base skill rating doubled
