All PCs start with 6 skills. 2 Competent (cannot be a magic domain), 3 Novice + 1 Racial Bonus . You have the XP and the Knowledge to be at this level.
I know that the Racial Bonus can also be the Fast Track skill but does it have to be a 6th skill or can I start out with 5 skills and have one of the 2 Competent startings skills also be the Racial Bonus and Fast Track skill.
I am planning to leaning heavily into the spiritual nature of the Sev'ryn my making my character particularly good at Meditation. If possible I would like to make Meditation one of my Competent starting skill, then give it the racial bonus, and make it my fast track skill. That would put it at 51 which being a fast track skill would make it expert level which is why I am unsure if I can actually do that or not.
For what it is worth I am also thinking of starting out with Attunement and/or Sovereign using my character's skill at meditation as the reason they were initiated into those domain magics.

Re: Starting Skills Question
Hey there! You cannot combine the racial bonus points with other points. It must be a standalone skill that is 25XP. You may, however, make one of your competent starting skills your fast track skill (or even your racial bonus one). I did that with Pyrre, making his competent Seafaring skill his fast track skill. You cannot, however, start with a skill higher than the two competent (26XP) skills. I hope that clears that bit up!

Re: Starting Skills Question
That does indeed help clear things up, thank you. Since I have this help ticket already made I will ask one one question. Is it possible to have both Immortal Marks and Domain Magic at the same time? In particular I am curious about this character having/getting the Sojourn Mark, and possibly the Loshova mark as well. Just not sure if it is one or the other with domain magic and immortal marks or if they can coexist on the same character or not. I will admit that I am not making as much sense of the wiki as I should be right now sense it is 4am so if it is clearly meantioned on the wiki and I overlooked it I do appologize.

Re: Starting Skills Question
Yes. But some Immortals do not approve of magic and aren't likely to mark mages. Such as Famula. There's no blanket answer though it comes down to the Immortals as individuals and the different magics.Stri'quist wrote: ↑Mon Jan 02, 2023 9:02 am Is it possible to have both Immortal Marks and Domain Magic at the same time?
