Secondary skills

Basics
You are granted a certain amount of secondary skill points to spend every level to a secondary skill of your choosing. For the very first point you must find a trainer to teach you the ropes, but after that you can achieve as high a rank in the skill as you can afford to spend. Some secondary skills also offer you the option to pick crafts that give you the ability to use your crafting tools to create new items as long as you have the necessary components. From the list of secondary skills you have to choose, some are more useful in the day-to-day activities of a warrior, while others are solely used for crafting potions and other commodities. Choosing one's secondary skills appropriately a player can affect their gaming style immensely. A Cleric of Torm might want to have a high Faith skill so as to be able to pray more effectively and bless graves that have been tainted by the undead, while a Half-Orc Barbarian might instead be partial to spending his points on Leadership to be able to lead a few of his brethren orcs in battle against the humans that wouldn't accept him. The secondary skill points offer a way to give a character a 'job' ingame that brings him closer to other players and a part of the world's economy and events. Picking a crafting secondary skill and focusing on it can be very beneficial in the long-run as the quality of items you can create will be better and other players will be more keen to buy them from your player merchant or in barter if you can't afford the upkeep of one.
