The core idea is pretty simple – assemble and roll dice, some results cancel each other out, interpret the results for maximum fun – but there are lots of hidden details in the books that could be better presented. I've been confused several times and had to ask some clarification questions on d20 Radio forums.Here's an example of creating a Seeker PC with respect to skills...Seeker (career) gives you 1 rank in 3 of the following of your choice: Knowledge (Xenobiology), Piloting (Planetary), Piloting (Space), Ranged (Heavy), Survival, Viligance.Pathfinder (1st specialization) gives you 1 rank in 2 of the following of your choice: Medicine, Ranged (Light), Resilience, Survival.Fringer (2nd specialization outside career, costs 20+10 = 30 XP) gives you no bonus skill ranks. However, you do get Fringer Bonus Career Skills – Astrogation, Coordination, Negotiation, Streetwise – which you can gain ranks in by spending XP. The benefit of making a skill a "career" skill is that the XP cost to buy ranks is less.[SECTION]The XP cost for skills is 5 times the purchased rank in experience. Each rank must be purchased sequentially. Each rank in a non-career skill costs 5 additional XP.[/SECTION]</blockquote>
