Say I am a coachman and have got my dedication bonus and I have just moved into the career Engineer. I am 17xp into my character, and have now gained another 4xp to spend (21 xp character)
I can take 1 General skill, and 3 open career advance skills.
Advanced skills need to be acquired before they can be trained. I already have Dwarf engineering acquired due to racial for dwarf from Zhufbar. I also have education acquired as a non career advance when I was a coachman.
So now as an Engineer.
1 xp So I take General skill, Tradecraft. I have acquired it.
1 xp I train Tradecraft to rank 1.
I am now a rank 3 character.
1 xp I train Education to rank 1
1 xp I then train Dwarf engineering to rank 1
This is the question I have, can you acquire Tradecraft and train in same rank? or do I have to wait until Rank 3, then train it.
And if you can is it one advance or 2 advances? For the purpose of heading towards the 10 advances you need for next career.
I hope this question makes sense.
