Profession Skill Costs?

#1
Hello,

The Hero creation rules state that each skill level of a profession costs 10 TPC per level.  But the Skill Charts starting in section S-13.1 have different 'PTs' listed underneath each rank.  What are the 'PTs' in the Skill Charts used for?

Thank you.

Hi there,

thank you for pointing that out. You are right, we are missing a note for these point costs => they are optional. The field should read 10 PTs for each skill increase just as you said (the calculator also adds 10PTs per skill). 

During play testing, we experimented with a more detailed approach that differed between passive and active skills and attributed between 5TPC for Rank1 and up to 25TPC for Rank4. This was dropped for faster play and less complexity.

Just like the optional stat costs on page 173 (the higher the more expensive) you can work with these point costs to encourage the raising of cheaper low level skills at the beginning of your game. 

I will make sure to also put this up in the errata thread. 

Thanks again,
Sebastian

You're welcome. If you give the optional skill increase another try, let me know how it turned out Wink .
