Editing Cyllian:Skills (section)

=Professional Skills=

Skills that will not be common to the background of competent adventurers are Professional Skills.  Characters do not start with any competency in these skills and as such suffer a -4 Unskilled adjustment to rolls when attempting them.  Any traded craft is considered a Professional skill, such as blacksmithing, armoring, leatherworking, masonry, and so forth.  Any learned skill such as history, lore, arcana, or alchemy is also a Professional Skill.  Adventuring skills that require special training are also Professional Skills, such as Lockpicking,....

One Skill Point is necessary to purchase a starting Professional skill at level 0.  From there, both types of skills advance similarly.
