If you select Custom then you completely customize the skills your character has. Doing so is beyond the scope of this manual as the combinations are vast, but if you know what role you will be using your character for then you are better off selecting custom career and maximizing the attributes that affect the skills needed for that career. Keep in mind that the Skill Training Time is dependent upon the attributes of your character. You only have so many attributes points to distribute among the various sets. Placing more points in one set will lessen the amount of points for the others. For more information about skills please refer to Chapter 1 .
