Future Earth Skill Sets

Please see the Future Earth Characters Thread in the Community under the Future Earth Board to see what default skills your character gets.

NOTE: If the Mind stat is below average (less then 10) then there are NO bonus Skills and your Character only keeps the default Skills of his/her Class.

You may choose:

TWO skills below if your mind is 10-12,
THREE skills if between 13-15, and
FOUR skills if between 16-18

If you choose a skill your character has already by default, then you will be level two in the discipline instead of level one. Example: As a mercenary you will already have martial art as a skill, if you choose it here again then you will have martial art level two.
