Character Law
On Page 75: Normal Skill Development
It says...
“Many skills may not (at any cost) be developed at a rate faster than one skill rank per character level. For a given profession, these skills have a single cost number in Table 07-03.”
Ok, this seems to be saying, if a skill has a cost of (for example) 1/*, it cannot be raised more than once.
Then on Page 76: Primary Skill Development Costs
It says...
“Only if a notation such as “2/7” appears, may a skill be improved two skill ranks during one experience level. The cost before the slash (in development points) is paid to raise the skill the first rank and the cost after the slash is paid (in addition) to raise it the second rank (if desired).“
That makes sense.
But then, again on Page 76:
It says...
“A notation of 1/*, 2/*, 3/*, etc, indicates that an infinite number of skill ranks in this area may be developed at one time at the listed cost for each.“
Aren't the red rules contradicting each other? One seems to say you cannot increase a skill rank beyond 1, the other seems to say you can increase a skill rank as much as you like.
