Base Rank is equal to the value of the governing Ability. If a Hero has Might 10, for example, the Base Rank for all Might-based skills is 10.The cost of Base Rank in a skill is equal to half the character’s score in the governing Ability, rounding up.The cost of each additional rank is equal to one quarter the character’s score in the governing Ability, rounding up.At Hero creation, no skill may be more than 3 Ranks above the level of the governing ability.At no time may any character have more than 12 Ranks in any skill.The Skill Cost Table should read as follows:
