Skills no longer all cost the same. The costs of gaining a level in each skill are mentioned next to the title of each group of skills. For example, level 1 of a scientific skill costs 2 skillpoints, raising it to level 2 after that costs 4 skillpoints. Raising a scientific skill all the way to level 5 costs 30 skillpoints in total. If characters apply their skills in their daily lives they will gain one experience level every year. The highest attainable experience level is level 5. Experience increases the character's skills noticably. Each skill may have dependencies and contributors. Dependencies are skills that are needed to become adequate at another skill. Contributors are skills that boost your abilities if you have levels in them. A character with level 3 in physics for example will gain a bonus if he also has levels in Mathematicsematics. Furthermore, all skills are based on specific stats. The first stat mentioned is most important. Characters receive bonuses or penalties based on the required stats.
