It gets a bit confusing.If I understand correctly you pick a number of favoured skills for your class, and then pick a number of known skills, which apparently can be favoured or not favoured. Favoured known skills are at Lv+3 ranks, known skills that aren't favoured are at (lv+3)/2 ranks.My question is: Why would anyone ever end up picking a known skill that isn't from your favoured list? Just a moment earlier you would have picked all your favoured skills, and every single class in BR gets to choose all its own favoured list (there's no pre-determined skills that must be on the list), so if you've only just chosen your favoured skills, why on the Great Sky Pixie's green earth would you choose a skill to be known that wasn't one of your favoureds?Finally, there are several places in the book where they refer to "all favoured skills" as having lv+3 value; which I can only assume was meant to be "all known skills". Otherwise, what is the difference between favoured and known skills?Nisarg</blockquote>
