Optional Education
Pack: The Business Education Pack is available
for the career skills of your corporate. This pack is based
on the assumption that the character has attended a business
school, college, or university, majoring in Business Arts.
You cannot take a higher education pack than your INT stat.
The number of career skill points and pickup skill points
(yes, you must spend both since you are assumed to have had
little time for extracurricular skill pickup) spent to
acquire that level is indicated following the degree. The
level of each skill is indicated following the skill.
Education Packs are an extremely generous way to pack
your character with skills, based on the assumption that
while in school you spent all your time learning and
therefore got, hello, an education. Remember that you
can't level higher than the stat associated with any skill
or higher in a career
skill than your Special Ability level.
