 ===== Skill Training =====
@@ Line 49: / Line 48: @@
 During character creation, no skill can receive more than one training rank.  If you are directed to improve a skill that already has one training rank, you may not improve that skill.  Instead, choose any other skill you wish, and improve that skill instead.  If the skill that you were directed to improve comes from a pool of choices, you must choose a different skill from that pool, if possible.
-After character creation, when you spend milestones to gain the [[.:characters:improvement#Skill Training]] upgrade, you may improve skills past that initial one rank.  However, you cannot select a skill to upgrade if that skill has more ranks than your current level.

 If you have even a single rank in a skill, that skill is said to be **Trained**.  If you do not have any skill training, the skill is said to be **Untrained**.

+Many rules allow the use of a skill as a defence or as a target number.  To determine a skill's target number (TN), add 10 to your skill's total bonus.
 ===== Skill Check =====

+A special case for skill checks are attack rolls.  If a rule calls specifically for an attack roll, then it refers to a skill check, made with a weapon skill, against a target's defence.  Rather than **success** or **failure**, they will be listed as **hit** or **miss**.  Other than that, they are just a skill check.
 ==== Trained and Untrained Actions ====

 An action that states that its skill check may be made Untrained does not impose slight on the skill check when you roll it Untrained.

+Sometimes fate blesses or curses a character, causing the novice to succeed and the veteran to fail.
