skill cap?

[MrWhite]

whats the max amount of points you can put into one skill? whats the sweet spot? im playing psych and intellect heavy but i was wondering how much its worth to put into these skills? like is 6+ overkill, should i start investing elsewhere in that point or is there a point to absolutely max a skill?

8-10 for the 3-4 skills you plan to use the most? 6-8 before equipment, even? Feel free to drop a point into a skill to unlock a check or just if you're using it a lot.

If you want one skill at 10-12 naturally, that might be worth it if it's Rhetoric, Logic, Authority, or Electrochemistry or something. Perception is particularly easy to increase with thoughts, just to warn you.

Skills are capped by your stat, so if you have Physique 1 that's 1+1, and Int 5 would make it 5+5. Various thoughts will also increase your cap, though I'm not clear how that works when the base cap from your stat is already higher.
