The Skills tab lists all the skills of the Actor. It is separated into two sections: Basic and Grouped & Advanced

The Basic section only contains basic skills that don’t have any specializations (specializations such as Stealth (Underground) or Melee (Basic))

The Grouped & Advanced section contains any skill that has a specialization (“grouped”, includes any basic skills that have specializations) as well as any Advanced skills (grouped or not). When creating a new character, the Grouped & Advanced list will start out with grouped Basic skills, without a group. These are placeholders for you to fill in.

Example: When creating a new character, by default they start out with Ride, Melee, Stealth, and Entertain and Art in their Grouped & Advanced Skill section. These are all Grouped skills but without a group, and shouldn’t be advanced until they are given a specialization. See $Skill Item Sheet$ for more on skill specializations.

Extended Tests
