|
|
Could someone explain to me what an arts bonus means or is?
I'm beginning to see so many ways the Alteri have been shafted. Bad enough we have high penalties in vitality and strength (19 points to raise one time) but we don't get any bonus skill ranks/points when born. Other races do but we don't?

<g> It's not quite that clear-cut of a case. You have percentage bonuses to arts. Specifically 10% to: Dancing, Drawing, Painting, Rhythm Instruments, Sculpting, Singing, Stringed Instruments, Tailoring, and Wind Instruments.
This bonus is stacked with any bonuses you have from your profession as well. Because we do not use partial skill ranks, (i.e. no such thing as having 7.492 in evasion) you will not notice the first gain until 10 ranks. By the time you have 200 in any of the above named skills, you'd have a +20 bonus in that skill.
Alteri also have faster focus recovery which is not a big deal for some, but if you use magic/psi when available it is definitely a bonus -- and you have telepathy. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

180 "free skill points" if you were to max all those out to 200. <wobble> A rather significant bonus. Not to mention the automatic telepathy saves you three more points from having to learn it from the Psi folk.
And.. the faster mana/psi recover kind of saves you from putting stat points into Mentality/Intellect/Charisma (whichever is needed for your profession). <shrug>
