Editing Damaaged Souls - Build (section)

==Step Three :: Skills==
'''Select 6 trained Skills''' to start at [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]]

'''All the rest of your skills are untrained''' and start at [[file:d4a.png|20px|d4]]

'''You then have 9 points''' to further step up your skills. Any skill already rated [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] or higher costs one point for each die size you bump it up - to a maximum of [[file:d12a.png|20px|d12]]. 

Stepping up untrained skills from [[file:d4a.png|20px|d4]] to [[file:d6a.png|20px|d6]] costs 2 points for that first step but only 1 point per step after.
