Conditions and Limitations for Untraining
-
When:
Untraining is allowed during the Reward Phase, specifically in step 2: "Untrain." -
What Can Be Untrained:
- Skill lines: You may untrain and remove any skill lines.
- If a skill line is untrained, all dice for that line must also be removed.
- Skill dice: You may untrain and remove any skill dice.
- When untraining skill dice, slide the remaining dice along the row toward the skill line token to fill any gaps, so the farthest slots are empty and there are no gaps between dice.
- Stat tokens: You may untrain and remove stat tokens (square tokens) except as noted below.
- Skill lines: You may untrain and remove any skill lines.
-
What Cannot Be Untrained:
- The Health and Stamina stats, as well as the Combat skill line, cannot be untrained (i.e., their circular tokens cannot be removed), but their square tokens or dice can be untrained.
- The Magicka stat can be untrained.
-
XP Recovery:
- XP spent on advancements that are untrained is not regained.
Retraining Magicka
- If you have untrained your Magicka stat, you can add it again as if it were a skill line by visiting any trainer (page 31).
Summary
- During the Reward Phase, you may untrain and remove any skill lines, skill dice, or stat tokens (except for the circular tokens for Health, Stamina, and Combat skill line).
