Career Skills

Career Skills are skills that you have gained by an event on a Career event table or other career interaction. They work differently than normal Skills in the following way:
1. When you gain them you assign 1 skill point at the next level to activate the skill. This gives the skill a number of Ranks equal to the Rank in the Career you gain it from. If you roll the same skill multiple times you get to add 1 rank extra over the career rank. You can always use the skill in career you gain it even if have not assigned a skill point to it. If you leave can't use it until that skill point is assigned. If get career skills in school you get Rank 1 in BA rank 3 in MA, and Rank 5 in all overs.
2. It is a cross-class skill until you use it outside a career roll. It uses the normal stat bonus but you cannot use it to qualify for things unless you take the Feat Career skills. If you use this skill outside Career system it counts as a class skill and grants the normal +3( as long as you have assigned 1 skill point to activate it
3. Restricted Skill: Jack of All Trades will add its rank to any Career Skills but other than that there is no real way to increase the rank unless you increase the rank of the Career you gain it from.
4. If you get the same Skill in a different Career and that Career rank is higher than the original, you use the highest Rank in any Career you gain the skill in. All other times the same skill is added you add 1 rank to the Career to a max of Character level.
3. Once you leave the careers system, you get a +1 competent bonus to your normal skill of the same name if you have ranks in it, and an extra +1 competent bonus for every 5 ranks you have in the Career skill.
