Skill Master in FH

[Vorvodoss]

The Skill Master rule (FH 107) gives a charcter +3 with a skill or with all skills based on a single Characteristic. My question is: what does this +3 do exactly? How do +x bonuses work on spells? Does this increase the roll or affect something else?

[Steve Long]

They provide bonuses for the Skill Rolls they're defined as working for. You could choose to use them for Magic Skill rolls if you defined the Talent as working with your Magic Skill (not with Attack Rolls or damage rolls for spells, though -- those aren't Skill Rolls).

 

They're just Skill Levels (5E 48-49) dressed up under another name for gamers who like to think in terms of "special abilities."
