Skill Rules & Full Description

When a character purchases this skill, they gain the ability to use: Thrown Weapons, Small Weapon, One-Handed Edge, Bow, Crossbow, Staff, and the Florentine skill. The character also gains the ability to use a staff in their off hand. This allows them to block only, just like with the Master Florentine skill and a two-handed weapon.

Additionally, any Build Points the character may have spent on these weapon skills are refunded when this skill is learned. So, if a character has Edged Weapon skill, Florentine skill, and Thrown Weapon skill the character would get back a total of 9 Build Points, effectively getting the Tools of the Trade skill for free.
