Two questions
1. Why are the skills that the characters is "given" as starter skills also included in the first rank of their class, sometimes at a high cost, the character will already have these skills and thus cant buy them again since they should be buying the +10 version of them in the next rank.
I've checked Dark Heresy and it doesnt relist the skills, is this just a quirk of the fact the characters are already at 4500 xp ?
2. Trained Basic Skills
I assume a trained basic skill means, you treat the skill as basic rather than advanced AND treated it as trained, so you roll using full value of the attribute.
I assume this differs from any entry (yet to find one) that says "you treat .... as a basic skill" (but doesnt mention trained)
