Hello

Can't find where it is wrote in the book that i can't buy more than once the same skill like dodge. Can some one tell me where is this rule

thanks

You can't buy the same skill more than once. You can buy upgrades to the same skill (say Dodge +10%) such upgrades are typically only available at different character levels.

There are certain talents that you can buy multiple times. Typically these talents will have a symbol beside them and small text elsewhere at the bottom of that level telling you how many times you can buy it. See page 51, Sound Constitution in the Trooper advance table as an example.

Bogomips.

thats what i tought thanks

What about gaining the same skill twice from character creation. What happens then?

Example: Say my character is from the Schola Progenium and is an Arbitrator, that gives him the skill speak language (low Gothic) and Literacy twice.

So what happens then?

Nothing happens, you just have the basic skill and the other instance of the skill is wasted.

We House Ruled that you gain a +5 bonus in such instance, but that's just our groups.

Well, in Dark Heresy you get no benefit from repeated skills like that per the RAW. In Rogue Trader I think you get to pick a Talented [skill] talent; or you get the Talented talent for the specific skills, would have to look to be sure. So, I guess it depends on how a GM wants to work it. The guy running the game I'm in gave us the +10 skill mastery level for free when that occurred with any of us.

That's how it works in RT by default, and if you get the same talent twice, the second instance of it is swapped for the "Talented (pick a skill)" talent.

as a mind cleansed tech-priest you get

1) Pistol Training (Las) [from Tech-Priest] (I presume it is a weapon training because I can't find any other meaning probably just a typo?)
2) Pistol Weapon Training (Las) [from mind cleansed]

now (not applying Rogue Trader rules) do these count as 1 weapon training or as 2 weapon trainings regarding requirements for talents?

(altough it dosn't matter that much because all in all you get 4 or 5 trainings depending if it counts double or not and the maxim requirements I've seen is 4 (for mechanicus secutor)

I would think it would count as one instance of Weapon Training for such requirements. Yet another reason why I like to include some aspects of the Rogue Trader character creation rules into my Dark Heresy campaign. My players also tend to appreciate this... When I can actually get them together for a game.
