Skill rank

Like all things, skills are bought with Expoints. You can buy 1 Skill Rank for 2 Expoints. Magic School Ranks cost 3 Expoints for every 1 rank. You can only have a maximum of 10 ranks in any skill without the purchase of the Legendary Skill trump (see the Trumps chapter for more information about this trump).

Skills represent knowledge or practical experience your character has. He or she didn't just wake up the day after slaying a giant with inexplicable knowledge of opening locks. Like all upgrades to your character, the GM should have final approval on what your character learns and how he or she learns it. Without an available book, scroll, mentor, or loads of trial and error, your character has a slim chance of learning a skill.

There are two kinds of skills: standard skills, the ones listed below, and special skills: weapon skills and magic skills.
