→Advancing Grades With Skill Points: Grammar check
|}
A character may withhold 1 skill point from assignment to a skill or background ability if they wish, spending the point in the middle of the game to instantly benefit from them. While this assignment is generally done in a background skill, it may also be used for any skill which is not currently at its rank maximum. If assigned to a background ability the skill point is refunded as normal after the time investment is completed, at which time it may again remain in holding so long as the character does not have another skill point in holding already. If the character gains a level before assigning this skill point, they must spend all newly acquired skill point points as part of the normal level up process.
{{Underbar|Immediate Interrupt Acquisition
|Acquisition in the middle of the story is traditionally accompanied by a phrase along the lines of “I was waiting to surprise you guys, but I’ve been training in that for a while now”. It is a straightforward ret-con of the past, and an acceptable one because the gain is accounted for by the initial reduction in character power and the chance that it won't actually be used.}}
