Skills at character creation

By Salvador, in Rogue Trader Rules Questions

Hello,

maybe it was already here, but i cant find it.

So my question is:

If i get some skill (take intimidate in Stubjack background for example), and then gain it again as Arch-militant, do i get some bonus (as +10 on that skill) or nothing at all?

I ask it becouse if i get two same talents, i get instead of one "Talented" talent, but if i get two same skills i got nothing? It looks to me, that i was "cheated" at > becouse someone will got two skills, and becouse i choosed something other i got only one...

So did i got somethink or not?

The core book states what happens. You get the +10 for that skill.

Nice and thanks.

And when i have at some ranks for example "intimidate +10" and "intimidate +20" can i take both, or only that +20 then?

You can only take the +20
