Hello, I'm new to the 1st edition game and I'm going through the rules by creating some starter PCs as practice.
I have what is probably an extremely stupid basic question but I'm stumped and would appreciate any answer:
I'm rolling up a cleric. When I get to the skills, the Core books says on page 86 that you can never have more ranks in a skills than your total number of Hit Dice. Ok, at 1st level I assumed that means only one rank. But then, because the cleric is human, he gets another rank in any skill. So... can I put the rank for being human into the same skill as another skill thus giving me two ranks at 1st level, or must it be separate and in another skill that I haven't spent skill ranks on yet?
I appreciate any response and you can bet I'll have other questions! :D
