I was just browsing through some of the basic game rules and I think I may have found something I had initially overlooked in my first read-through of the rules.

I seem to have thought that on my browse-through just now that the Adventurer's Book says you are to underline your Favored Skill Groups and when you invoke an attribute bonus from any of them you use your favored skill rating. Is this correct?

For instance, my beginning character is a Warden. Their Favored Skill Groups are Personality and Survival. Am I to underline these skill group names to the right on the character sheet where you would record Advancement Points during an Adventuring Phase? And would this mean that if I use ANY skill from these favored categories with a point of Hope would I automatically use the Favored Attribute Bonus or only when the skill itself is a favored skill?

Under the Survival category I have only Explore as favored and under the Personality category I only have Persuade as favored so far.

Thanks in advance!

Forgive me.....I think I stumbled upon something in the book half asleep and completely had a brain meltdown thinking I originally overlooked something important. I think I was completely wrong in my post above. It seems I did character creation right. In browsing through the PDF I think I misread the part under Callings about choosing 2 skills from your favored categories to make into favored skills, listed on pg 72.

I did that correctly on my first character and simply think I misread it when I was flipping through the book just a bit ago hurriedly and confused myself momentarily.
