Decreasing Skill Ranks

[NineShadowEyes]

One of my players made up a new character, but put ranks in the wrong skill. We couldn't figure out how to decrease the ranks in the wrong skill to 0. Not direct mode, not planned mode... nothing worked. It just wouldn't let us decrease the value. I had to go into the campaign file and change it manually. Is that by design? Or am I missing something?

He or you should have been able to right click on the skill rank and select direct ajustment. However, FG does keep track of what *class* the skill was raised in and by how much. You can only ajust the skill by as much as it was raised by that class - ie if it was a mulitclass character it sounds like you were trying to decrease it in a class it was never raised in.
