When a Player Character selects a
Class,
Subclass, and
Background, they receive associated
Skills with designated
Skill Tiers.
Occasionally, these Skills may overlap. For example, choosing the
Champion
Class with the Knight
Background grants both a
Skill tier 3 in
Fortitude.
When Skills overlap, the player gains
Overlapping Skill Points. These do not count towards the total
Skill Points but grant 4 additional
Skill Points per overlap, or also called 4
Overlapping Skill Points. These points can be allocated as desired.
To keep things simple, only Player Characters beyond level 1 can allocate
Skill Points in the character creator tool.
