Skills: primary, secondary & background…
I just need a bit of rules clarification.
I take it these skills classification are for templates only? When your buying skills for a pc all skills are just skills, not broken down like the above, this is RAW correct? |

Template Toolkit 1 goes into detail about these categories.

Those categories are always relative to the template, and can be basically summed up as: Skills that are necessary to do the template's thing skills that are helpful for doing the template's thing, and the kind of skills that someone like the template could easily have picked up here and there

Re: Skills: primary, secondary & background…
I fully do agree with what is said above but would just add that it can also help to create a character from scratch.
1) Primary skills: what is absolutely necessary for your character to be good at what he is supposed to be good at. 2) Secondary skills: what can be useful for his job but not necessary. What makes him different from others who do the same job. His specializations. 3) Background skills: his hobbies, what he learned at school when he was young, and so on. Thinking about these three things really helps to choose your skills and create an interesting character. Last edited by Gollum; 04-01-2023 at 03:46 AM. |

I like to go along the lines of: Primary Skills 4+ CP per skill. Secondary Skills 2 CP per skill Background Skills 1 CP per skill. Of course I'm a bit infamous for my 50-100 CP in skills, all skills being at 1 point Characters... (But in those cases it's because I also have a Talent pile-up going on in the Advantages area.) |
