Is it? What do stats start at?
I haven't got a book handy but I think the stat range is 2–7, with some cultures potentially having 8 in something
Take Rangers of the the North. If you elect to take WITS of 2 then… (1/2)
…you are weakening the right hand column. *BUT* you can make Lore favoured then take MASTERY cultural virtue and make 2 more favoured. (2/2)
These are the odds for skill checks: anydice.com/program/3ef2f It's basic and doesn't include Favour/Ill Favour etc but you can see if your TN is 18 or 17 there's no benefit to having 1 point in a skill. That would be the same for a Favoured skill as well as you're relying on a G rune for success
Even with a stat of 4 and a TN of 16 1 point in a skill is pretty useless.
Not if you spend hope - one hope point from your Fellowship focus gives you two extra dice.
