A quick question about skills and skill groups.

It gives the example in the book that someone buys the "stealth" skill group at level 4 at creation, then decides a month later that they mostly use infiltration so they split the group and increase their infiltration skill to 5, so they then have the seperate skills, infiltration5, disguise4, palming4, shadowing4.

My question is, can i do this at character creation or only later with karma?

I want to give my char the firearms skill group at level 4, but then increase my pistol skill to 6. Can i buy the firearms skill of 4 then spend to increase just the pistols skill, splitting the rest? (ie pistols6, automatics4, longarms4)
Or do i have to buy the skills seperately (and at a much higher karma cost) if i want to do that?

Cheers in advance for any help
