Skill-slot limits by ability level
The supplied table sets maximum skill counts by tier for ability levels one through five, with higher levels allowing more Adept and Master skills.
How it works
The table gives level 1 a maximum of 3 Novice skills; level 2, 5 Novice and 2 Adept; level 3, 6 Novice and 3 Adept; level 4, 6 Novice, 4 Adept, and 1 Master; and level 5, 6 Novice, 4 Adept, and 2 Master. The passage presents these as maximum skill counts, not individual skill effects.
