When looking at the dice set and cards it seems they included the very minimum you need to play. But four expertise dice? I have read throught he rules twice and I can't seem to find any way to ever get more than three expertise dice added to your roll. Is that correct or am I missing something?

Given that starting characters are rank 1, and thus may only purchase 1 level of training and thereby add 1 expertise die for trained skills, the four dice allows easier sharing. That's one possible interpretation.

also one of the sides of that die makes your roll another one. perhaps they figured you wouldnt want to disturb the one youve already rolled

On Rank3 you may have skill trained 3 times + get 4th <Y> dice from effect on action card (for example "Shield Slam")

I think it might be possible to actually have 4 trained dice, though I'm not sure my interpretation is correct.

level 1 is 0-9 exp. So that means upon getting your 10 xp you are 2nd level and about to spend the last exp of your first career. If you have a skill selection left at this stage and you purchase training in the skill in character creation you could have 2 levels of training just as you finish career one.

If this follows through to the end when your 40th xp, the last one of your thrid career actually puts you at 4th level. This doesn't take into consideration xp that you have spent on out of profession options(skills and stats) and the cost of actually changing careers. There is certainly a limit on how many out of careers choices you can make but they all take experience points which are used to calculate level. It is quite possible to be hitting level 4( I havent got my book with me so I am only assuming there is a level 4!) part way through your third career.

Having said that though Im pretty sure the character sheet only has room for 3 trainings so maybe actual level does cap at 3.

Really, checkboxes on the charsheet so as advance fields are the limitations of character advancement.

I think that it is a misprint in the rulebook and it'll be corrected in the FAQ to "spent a certain amount of experience" (common sense , because in current spelling character could earn 10xp without spending anything and then buy rank2 abilities with a discount - nonsense)

actually AaronC is right about rank. you are confusing experience and advancements. experience is what you get, advancements are what you spend. (p. 34 WHFR core rulebook)

this matter is somewhat confusing. there is never any mention in the rules that limits the number of yellow die you can train to a certain skill other than one per rank, but it does say in the FAQ that the five boxes next to each non career advancement and the two lines given for non careen advancements are meant to be limitations but open to GM discretion. we could assume that also infers that everything on the character sheet is meant to be a limitation. so id say its your call.
