<br/>
A general question about expending practice points:<br/>
<br/>
When I got to 8th level I expended one practice point to train in String.<br/>
The first time I sang a song that used a stringed instrument, my skill<br/>
raised one point to 9.  That indicates that expending the initial practice<br/>
point to get the String skill gave me a skill level of 8.<br/>
<br/>
On the other hand, when I first started my character I expended one<br/>
practice point in Sense Heading.  The next time I went up a level in Sense<br/>
Heading, my skill level was only 2.  That indicated one practice point<br/>
spent and one skill level gained.<br/>
<br/>
So, does expending a practice point give you a random amount of skill<br/>
levels based on your INT and/or WIS score or does it only give you one<br/>
skill level per practice point?  If the second case is true, how do you<br/>
account for me getting 8 skill points in String while only expending 1<br/>
practice point?<br/>
<br/>
Reason for asking:  I am about to embark on a secondary career as the<br/>
Kelethin brewmaster for E&#39;ci.  I haven&#39;t expended any practice points in<br/>
brewing yet.  I want to get my skill up to 10 before I start the learning<br/>
process.  Just need to know if I only need to put a couple of practice<br/>
points in it or will I need to expend 10 practice points.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks<br/>
