Apex Skills
These are for those people that have traits that far outmatch those of their peers. They are the pinnacle of what their race could ever hope to achieve. This is for those that have reached the maximum allotted point ranking in a trait. Being dedicated and committing the self to rigorous training has paid it's dividends.
You may only ever have ONE of these skills.
Also, unlike other skills, these are not allowed to be switched out. These will be forever ingrained into your character's person. The reward comes with a cost, so before you select one, be sure that you really want it. Because you may get rid of it, but never get another. Whenever you rank up and meet the prerequisite, you may select one. The only reason they are here and not folded in with the other skills were the above mentioned special ruling on them.
