If my Avatar starts out and instead picks Sorcery, Enchantment, Tricks, and Arcana he is a Demonurge of 10th Rank, right?
A (continued): That is correct. The player’s Avatar will have to subsequently pick Luck ability to gain a higher ranking in the Order. Although the Enchantment Ability is of greater percentage than the Order-required Tricks and Arcana, this does not affect the relative relationship. When Tricks Ability is acquired by the Avatar, he will then become at least an 8th Rank Demonurge because Sorcery Ability score is 64. Note that is in the interim before gaining Luck Ability, the Avatar achieves a score of 71 or greater in Sorcery Ability, 8th Rank will be skipped, no benefits for that step will accrue to the Avatar, so picking up Luck Ability quickly is of importance. Q (continued): Then later on in the campaign let s say he gains the Luck Ability. Does this then move him from 10th Rank directly to 8th Rank since he already has a sorcery skill of 61+, but not 71 or more? And if so, is there any way he can choose not to skip a Rank so he still gains the benefits of 9th rank? A (continued):
