Characters can learn skills in a number of ways. The first is from being taught by an Instructor who already has that skill and spends time teaching it to your character. The second is through the use of Skill Tomes or Spell Scrolls which can be created by someone with the appropriate skills or found as treasure. The third is for those who can't seem to find the first two. A player may spend a Between Game Action (BGA) to spend time learning any basic everyman skill or class skill. The Advanced skills are a little more complex and require the expenditure of two BGAs. These can be spent all at once or over the course of multiple games, however the skill will not be useable until after all appropriate actions have been spent. Additionally, you must have earned the build before finalizing the learning any skill via this method. (i.e., if learning Brew Potion Rank 5, you would need to have the 10 SP ready to be spent after using the second BGA but do not need it available before starting to learn the skill).

Skills are the things your character can do. They're the basic means by which a character interacts with the world. Skills are heavily influenced by Class. Some skills are there for everyone, some are shared across similar classes, some are completely proprietary to the one class that practices them. Most Species have Skills resulting from their ancestry or native environment. Skills are purchased with Skill Points and every Skill has a description of what it does, what (if anything) it costs to employ, how often it can be used, and what underlying skills are required for it.

Knowledge Skills:

Knowledge skills represent your character's education in a given field. Sometimes that's formal education, sometimes it's passed down from master to apprentice, sometimes it's just losing the same fight over and over until you start seeing the why of it. Some of them also have practical applications, things your character knows how to do as a result of whatever study taught him the field. Knowledge Skills are explored more fully at:

Learning Skills

Characters can learn skills in a number of ways. The first is from being taught by an Instructor who already has that skill and spends time teaching it to your character. Skills and spells take 10 minutes and Advanced skills take 30 minutes both of which must be uninterrupted. The second is through the use of Skill Tomes or Spell Scrolls which can be created by someone with the appropriate skills or found as treasure. The third is for those who can't seem to find the first two. A player may spend a Between Game Action (BGA) to spend time learning any basic everyman skill or class skill. The Advanced skills are a little more complex and require the expenditure of two BGAs. These can be spent all at once or over the course of multiple games, however the skill will not be useable until after all appropriate actions have been spent. Additionally, you must have earned the build before finalizing the learning any skill via this method. (i.e., if learning Brew Potion Rank 5, you would need to have the 10 SP ready to be spent after using the second BGA but do not need it available before starting to learn the skill).

Unlearning Skills

Any character can unlearn skills they currently have, granted not quickly. To unlearn a skill a character must note it on their sheet and have a Marshal sign off. They will not be able to use the skill for 2 games, at the end of which the SP for the skill will be refunded. Only one skill can be unlearned at a time, in the case of skills that have Ranks the character must Unlearn each Rank individually. These free skill points are available to spend via BGA if you have a trainer, can be spent on Class/Everyman basic skills in between games without the use of a BGA like normal, or can be used to learn skills via trainer at the next game. They do NOT be come available for use until the end of the game you finished unlearning them.
