I'm extermly sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find it in the forums through the search function. I'm wondering if you get a extra "mastery" of a skill if you get the same skill due certain things at character creation. I'm right now trying to roll up a Noble born Arbitrator And I get skills that are from both the Birth place and Job part. So would I get a +10 to those skills or is that left to the GM's descrission this game is to be played using a combo of Maptools and Skype.

Thank you,

Niles

It's not stated in the rules as far as I know, but your GM may be willing to see it differently, be sure to ask his opinion.

Okay thank you. I was looking through all the books and couldn't find anything to say one way or the other and the Errata for DH doesn't have a FAQ section like the Deathwatch one does so I thought I'd ask here to see if the books have it some where that I might have missed before asking the GM. Thank you again. I shall send him a message.

In DH, no, you do not get the bonus from overlaping skills. That was added in RT and carried over to DW.

As Tom said, your GM may be willing to allow it.
