Officially speaking, when assigning Hobby Skill Ranks if a skill is listed as a potential hobby skill, is the category also available?
For example, looking at the Falanar Standard Hobby Skills in the Privateers book page 114, both Hiding and Stalking are listed but the associated category Subterfuge*Stealth is not but on page 38 Bob's Falanar Machka has one rank in both Subterfuge*Stealth Skill Category and Stalking skill.
