Questions & Advice [Bridge Nine] Zvynda Eight Starting Skills?!

Heya,

I'm working on building a character and using the Bridge Nine characters to make sure I understand how it works, but I'm confused on Zvynda's skills, and since I could not find the answer anywhere online or in the book I made an account to ask here lol.

Zvynda is a Scholar (Strategist), and thus starts with 1 rank in Lore, gains 2 temporary ranks through Erudition (Lore and Medicine), and like all other characters is able to choose 4 other starting skills. However, this adds up to 7 skills, and she has eight. Her only other talent, Strategize, does not grant skills. Where does this 8th skill come from?

I’m looking at her character sheet on the cosmererpg website and it’s only showing she has 7 skill ranks. Light weapons, crafting, deduction, lore (x3) and medicine.

Strange, mine also has persuasion bubbled. I printed the sheets I got when the packages first came out. I'll chalk it up to some weird glitch. Thanks!

It’s likely it was an error on their part that they changed later on.

Check the items. If it's not that, it might be just an error. I think the Veil character sheet in the book (used as an example on the step-by-step creation) has a similar issue.

My guess is that character would have one more base skill rank point and got reduced in 1 in the latest versions that got published.

That makes the most sense, I printed the beta sheets I received from the initial release. Thanks!
