Makes sense to me. Thanks!
I finally played the game with a group today. We used the Mörk Borg dungeon Blood of SHE. The PCs diverged in some crazy directions.
One had been Officer of Punishment at a king's court, where he had also learned the skills Con Man 2 and Strike Down 3. We also had an alchemist 2 who brewed transmutation potions 3, and a former Carpenter 2 who also knew Advantageous Cursing 2 and Spread Bad Vibes 2.
I regularly asked them how they had acquired their new skills, had they had a teacher etc. That worked pretty well. We definitely had a lot of fun with Shoes in the Dark.
