If this has already been asked, I apologize. I did a search and it said that search had been flooded, or something like that.

My friends and I are creating characters and we're on the skills now. One of my friends and I took skills at B and have 36/5. That five is for skill groups. Does that mean I can have 1 skill group at 5, 5 skill groups at whatever level I can buy them with my 36 skill points, or spread the 5 points out amongst skill groups? Also, can we buy skills groups beyond what our skill group priority level limit is at?

Is there anything else I need to know about skill groups at CharGen?

Thanks in advance or your help.

You have 36 skill points for separate skills and 5 additional points to put into skill groups. You can have 5 skill groups at level 1 for example ot 1 at 5, any combination that hits 5. I hope that makes it clear.

It helped greatly, thanks muchly.

Don't take this as gospel but I have a feeling that the rules imply that you can't then modify the skill groups that are bought from that pool during character creation.

Once you use those skill group points to purchase the skill groups, you cannot change then or break them until the final spending of your karma.
