hanks Refplace. The cap of +10 for bonuses is not part of my proposed house rule, just a fault of my memory. You've reminded me that the max is higher, so that means that Rank should count against the bonuses. At low level, it helps hit the max, and at high levels, it helps you in circumstances where you can't get as many other bonuses as you'd like.

I didn't mean to imply a specific cap to starting skill in RM and path skills. Rather, I estimated what a player would want to spend. If he cuts his griffin rider skills to bare minimum and really focuses on magic, he could swing a couple more levels or get 1 level from an IQ bump that would help with lots of other skills he has to buy anyway.
