Term: Secondary Skill

A Secondary Skill is a tertiary Skill given by a source, but can be learned over time and is, therefore, not considered 'important' for the sake of balance in many cases. While Secondary skills are needed for many parts of the game, they can be ignored or supplanted with Primary Skills, except in a few cases.

Many Secondary Skills have multiple offshoots for specific subjects, such as Profession and Lore. Rather than being one generalized skill, each individual subject is an individual skill. This is also what makes Secondary Skills somewhat infinite.

Languages are considered Secondary Skills, as they can be learned as well, and there is technically no limit.

To learn Secondary Skills, you use Activity: Learning a Secondary Skill and Activity: Learning a Language. For a full list of Secondary Skills, go to Hub: Skills and Languages
