Skills in the ZRPG – unlike, say, Fallout - don’t work on a percentage system, but in a 10-point spread.  Before you get all like NOOOOO about this, it was done so that upgrading skills was a more challenging thing, and that those upgrades felt more concrete and compelling of a difference then “Well, I was at 28%, but NOW I’m at 32%!  …I guess that’s better.  It’s a higher number, right?”  You won’t be able to max out ALL your skills in the game, not by a long shot – where you put those points is a significant choice.  (NOTE: think of the point buy system in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines and you’re not terribly far off)
