Pick A Career

Why don’t you just get a job. Picking a career can be hard and unlike the game of Life, you really shouldn’t pick one at random. Luckily they’re more straightforward than you think. Each career has two parts:

1. Career Skills

2. Talents

Let’s look at Career skills first.

Each Career has 8 skills in total. Two things to take away from this:

1. You’ll pick 4 skills to get a free rank in to start the campaign (unless your species says otherwise)

2. The skills listed in the Career will be cheaper to rank up when spending XP than other skills

Now let’s look at Talents.

Talents are abilities that you’ll gain throughout the campaign that will help make your Career feel unique and will typically be exclusive to you. Two things to take away from this:

1. Talents are broken down in tiers; typically you can’t take a Tier 2 talent until you’ve take a Tier 1 talent

2. Some talents can be taken multiple times
