Love this, but little confused on how you determine skills at the beginning. Unfamiliar with the term 1 in 6 chance as opposed to choosing or rolling like the other set up steps have. Is it everything starts at 1 and is modified by the attribute rolls only(or if you're the one stock that gives 4 points)? Are there no other starting skills points?

And also I'm guessing the roll for party success is the same as a skill roll(get the target number or lower)? Doesn't say how to determine success specifically.

Hi there! Good questions.

The first piece of advice I’ll give it think of your skills less like “I need to roll to see if I can do this” and more “Absent a player-driven strategy, if there’s a risk, you can roll instead to see if it turns out okay.”
You’re right to think that everybody starts with 1 (in 6) for each skill. This is only modified by attributes for Aldwins/Vonhnkars. Dulkeen have starting skill points to add to their initial ratings.
And yep! For party success, you’re rolling X-in-6, where X is based on your preparation. If you roll your rating or lower, huzzah!
