[Unchained] Staggered Advancement and skill points


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Hello guys, let's see if someone can help me out. I've decided to try the staggered advancement rules but my players had some questions concerning skill points.
The PCs are level 1 at the moment and just got 1000 XP, so they should earn half the total skill points. Can they put an extra rank into skills they purchased on character creation? From stealth rank 1 to 2, for example, as a level 2 character. I assumed not, but then it rose another issue: Can a PC choose to expend skill points when he levels up instead of doing so at the 50% tier? Can he leave those points "stored" until then?

Staggered advancement is basically giving you a little bit of your next level early. So yes when you get skill points buy ranks in the skills as if you were 2nd level. No you cannot save anything until you level up. Just like normal advancement, when you get the skill points or feats you have to use them.
