Step right up, I'll give you the nickle tour. Now now... I might not know everything, and what I do know may not be right, but I'll never lie to you for sure, and I've never once even thought about charging for my services, so... here goes.
Gather information:
This skill is for finding out about areas, normally in quests or in between quests from a GM. the more points you spend in it the more likely you are to get not only SOME information about the obscure castle your groups is heading toward, but also the more likely it is that the information will be correct.
Eschew materials:
This is for spellcasters to 'eschew' the material componants for thier spells, meaning they can cast the spells without the material componant. Eschew I is for spells 1-3, Eschew II is 4-6 I think and Eschew III is for spells 7+. Yes, you must take the first to get the last, can't just get eschew III.

Have fun, welcome to Layonara.
