VPP & Skills

[JmOz]

If a character uses his VPP for a skill, is the skill asumed to be based on the characteristic it normaly would be, or is it assumed to be not linked to a skill akin to how a skill with a foci works?

If a character buys a Skill through a VPP, he's buying it using the Skills Power, and it's subject to all rules pertaining to that Power. Nothing in those rules makes all Skills subject to a rule that pertains only to Focused Skills.
