Racial skill restrictions and "learning" .

[MaxIrons]

Hello,

There seems to be a couple of different interpretations of what exactly is meant by a race being unable to learn/purchase certain skills. http://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/elves-and-polearms.19004/#post-183652

May a race that cannot purchase a skill have that skill at 0 on their card? May a race that cannot learn a skill (Biata with Read Magic) have that skill at 0 on their card? If the answer to either of these is no, if a Racial Transformation ritual is done and the target has a proscribed skill at 0, does the ritual fail?

Thank you for your consideration.

Depending on the level of clarification and discussion (and potential involvement of the Owners or other national staff, if needed) this may take time.

Skills at 0 on a card will not count for or against racial restrictions. If a character has a skill at 0 on their card and attempts to race change to a race that cannot learn that skill, the skill should disappear upon completion of the Racial Transformation.

Note that should the skill be on a character's card at any value other than 0, the wording on Racial Transformation will take hold and prevent the race change from happening.
