Elric: Divine Training

[Vortigern]

How does this work exactly during character creation? Does this factor in 'after' any other modifications to a character's skill rating? And so overwrite those values straight to 100%? Or do other things like allocated skill points / bonuses factor in to raise this higher than 100%?

Presumedly in play the skill can still be raised, subsequently?

What happens precisely, especially if it has subsequently been raised, if the Pact with the God is severed and the Gift lost? What happens to the skill? Or, since this is 'training' is a permanent raise regardless?

It should be factored in after all other math. If the pact is lost then the skill drops down to its original level - ie, that the character would've had before it was raised. If he's used improvement rolls to further increase the skill he can keep those.

Thanks! That makes it a tad less overpowering, in fact.

I was looking at the potential of throwing free skill points on top of this to hit 130% and just shaking my head.

Still a potent Gift for a starting character, but ... not 'that' bad. Especially with the prospect of having it taken away to keep one 'loyal'.
