====Skills====
Skills are learned abilities such as firing
weapons, hand-to-hand combat, scientific
knowledge, professional aptitudes, and so on.
Skills in Savage Worlds are very broad to
keep the action simple and straightforward.
The Shooting skill, for example, covers all
types of guns, bows, rocket launchers, and
other ranged weapons.

=== Core Skills ====
Core Skills: Five skills are marked with a
red star in the list that begins on page 29:
Athletics, Common Knowledge, Notice,
Persuasion, and Stealth. These are “innate”
abilities most adult adventurers have.
Unless a racial ability (page 18), Edge, or
Hindrance says otherwise, your character
starts with a d4 in each of these five core skills.

=== Buying Skills ====
Buying Skills: After core skills are assigned,
you have 12 additional points to raise core
skills or buy and raise new skills as you see fit.
Each die type costs 1 point (starting at d4)
as long as the skill is equal to or less than the
attribute it’s linked to (listed beside the skill
in parentheses, in the list starting on page
58). If you exceed the linked attribute, the
cost becomes 2 points per die type.

==== Skill Maximums ===
Skill Maximums: Skills may not be
increased above d12 during character creation
unless the character’s race starts with the skill
at d6. If the skill starts with a d6, increase her
maximum to d12 + 1. Celestials (page 21)
start with a d6 in Faith, for example, which
means their Faith skill may be increased to
d12 + 1.
