Editing Liberi Gothica: Character Creation (section)

==Step 4: Choose skills and ability trees.==
Liberi start with 15 XP to spend on Skills and Mundane Ability Trees. Non-Liberi gain 30 XP to spend on Skills and Mundane Ability Trees.

A Mundane Ability Tree costs 10 XP to purchase, and grants you an ability for free when you take it. In addition, it grants you access to a wide variety of abilities to spend XP on in step 5. Liberi Ability Trees can not be purchased after character creation except in specific circumstances.

Skills have a variable XP cost, depending on how skilled you already are. It costs 1 XP to purchase a skill at rank 1, and 2 XP for rank 2, 3 XP for rank 3, and so on. Skills are added on to your TACKS attributes in certain, narrow situations. For example, when making an Athleticism check to swim, each rank in Swim you have gives you a +1 bonus to the roll.
