Background Skill Question Revisited

[Kirowan]

Of course the character doesn’t get a worse roll by spending more Character Points. Just buy the roll up from 11- at the standard 1 point for +1 rate.

I would have posted this in my last thread, but of course that's not allowed.

Anyway, I don't really understand why there is an option to upgrade a BS, KS, PS, or SS to a characteristic roll if you can just buy it up from 11- for +1 per point spent. I mean, upgrading to a characteristic roll only really benefits those characters with a relevant characteristic of 18 or higher. Was that the intent?

Thanks again,

Nick

I didn't create that rule originally, but yes, I suspect that was the idea. If it troubles you, it's easily enough thrown out via a house rule. ;)
