I see skills listed as Basic and trained on the character sheet . . . do you get some bonus if a basic skill is trained (+10%?). I don't have my book yet.

Also what attribute is the Evaluate skill based on?

A skill that is Basic can be used without having it trained, just at 1/2 the effective value of the skill in question. For instance:
Awareness is based on Perception, if you have Awareness as a Basic skill, then you can use it untrained... but at 1/2 the characteristic for skill checks.
If you have Awareness trained, then you can use the full value of the characteristic for skill checks.
If a skill is not Basic, and you don't have it trained, then you can't perform that skill.
