| - | As a character progresses, they may find themselves wishing to learn a few tricks outside their normal purview. For example, a mage tired of being beaten down may wish to teach themselves to use heavier armour, while a fighter may wish to learn first aid after watching an ally bleed out at their feet. To represent this, once your character has advanced sufficiently to purchase level 4 skills you may, up to two times per character, spend 2 skill points to purchase a level one skill you do not already possess that is available to any of the backgrounds. Any skills progressing from that skill on the background’s skill tree are added to your own, and can thenceforth be purchased for the normal price of 1 skill point. | + | As a character progresses, they may find themselves wishing to learn a few tricks outside their normal purview. For example, a mage tired of being beaten down may wish to teach themselves to use heavier armour, while a fighter may wish to learn first aid after watching an ally bleed out at their feet. To represent this, once at level 3 and once at level 4 you may spend 1xp to give yourself an additional background slot. You may then fill these slots with a background and buy skills in that background as normal. For examples, Sally's character takes the Merchant background at character gen, but leaves her second background slot empty. At level 3 she pays 1 xp, gets an additional background slot, and uses her 2 background slots to take Dabbler Mage. |
| - | If you wish to purchase a background that grants a skill you already have at level 1 (and doesn't makes sense to have twice), you can purchase access to the rest of the background for 1 point. | ||

| The player characters in Memento Mundi may start like any other adventurers, but will progress to be some of the greatest heroes or villains the world has ever seen, and will sometimes experience things beyond that which any normal mortal normally would. Sometimes these experiences will grant a character access to new insights and abilities, represented by small additional trees of special skills they can purchase, as described on [[:epic_trees|Epic Trees]]. | The player characters in Memento Mundi may start like any other adventurers, but will progress to be some of the greatest heroes or villains the world has ever seen, and will sometimes experience things beyond that which any normal mortal normally would.
