Hours of practice, natural talent and honed instincts all combine to determine your character's capabilities. Some actions are easy; others require significant training to even attempt.

Over the course of your character's creation, and during play, you will often be given the chance to improve the training of a skill. This is represented by increasing that skill's training bonus. This is handled somewhat differently during character creation than it is when spending milestones.

During character creation, no skill can receive a training bonus higher than a +1. If you are directed to improve a skill that already has a +1 to its training bonus, 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 Skill Training upgrade, you may improve skills past that initial +1. However, you cannot select a skill to upgrade if that skill is higher than your current level.
