SKILL POINTS
Characters have a number of skill points based on their age category and their class levels.

Depending on a characters' class, some skills are "class skills" and some skills are "cross-class skills" Cross-class skills require 2 skill points per rank, class skills require 1 skill point per rank. The maximum number of ranks a character can have in a class skill is equal to (Character level +3,  +1 per Age Level) (Infant=1, Juvenile=4, etc.). The maximum ranks a character can have in a cross-class skill is half that number.

In addition to the skill points given an Amberite by virtue of who they are, each character gets starting skill points according to their class.  Starting skill points for the basic character classes are:
