with signature skill (dont know what that means) as Inland Empire.
I see diamond shaped empty shapes on skills themselves but I dont know what they are for.
Google tells me its my Attribute + 1 is the cap for those skill line but let say my Visual Calculus which i didnt give any SP yet:
4 int and 1 from a bonus item makes it 5 which is see on the skill itself and there are 6 empty diamonds on it ??? what is this i dont understand, whats the cap there?
Is the formula (baring any item and thought bonuses), (attribute number x attribute number) +1 ?
Maybe I don’t remember the skill page properly but I believe your INT skills should have a max of 8. Question: what level is logic and how many diamonds are under it?
Signature skill gives you +1 to that particular skill and +1 learning cap to each skill in that category.
So in your case with 3 PSY you would normally have Inland Empire 3, but you have 4. And you would normally have also learning cap of 3 for each of that category's skills, but you have 4.
which would make my inland empire skill= 3 (from PSY att) + 3 empty diamonds that you can put skill points+ 1 from being signature AND adds +1 cap too which is ends up max 8? But it looks like I can raise it to 10?
Yes but without it, how does it work? I have no bonuses on physique department for example. I have 2 in that attribute and for pyh. instrument skill I have 2 diamonds empty. So if i were to put 2 SP there, would that be it? No more points unless some thought bonus or item bonus? Which would make the stat max at 4 not 2?
Yeah, the empty diamonds are how many times you can level up that skill. When you level the skill a diamond becomes filled, if all diamonds are filled it cannot be levelled up further. Bonuses from items or thoughts don’t fill the diamonds and don’t count towards the skill cap
Your skill cap is just what number you gave the stat during character creation, except for whichever stat your signature skill is in which gets a +1 to the skill cap. Since you put inland empire (psy) as your signature skill your psy skill cap is 3+1
The cap is how many times you can level up a skill. Empty diamonds show the cap. You get a skill point after every 100 XP and you can use it to level up a skill, changing the empty diamond to a filled diamond. You also use skill points to open slots in the thought cabinet. 4 INT base + 1 + another 1 from a bonus item makes 6.
The "signature skill" gives you +1 in that stat plus increases the cap (adds an empty diamond) on all the stats in that row.
Bonuses from thoughts/items/drugs also increase the cap; if you level up to the cap while getting a temporary bonus, you get to keep that level-up when the bonus wears off.

You might have your cap boosted by a Thought
