step 5: choosing skills
Texto
Once you’ve chosen two rings to give bonuses to, it’s time to select a group of skills from which a player will choose the skills their character starts with. The number of skills a school can give its adherents access to during character creation (listed in the “Skills Available” column), depends on the roles that were selected. The number of skills a character can choose from that group (listed in the “Skill Picks” column) also depends on the school’s roles. The skills in the “Common Skills Available” column for each role are skills that are frequently used by characters with that role. If a school has multiple roles, select the category for the primary (first) role of the school. See table 2–7: Skill Choices on page 80.
