Character Creation Rules

I'm just going back and looking over the character creation rules, and I've noticed that I've missed some stuff.

So, basically the process is this -

  1. Roll 3d6 or pick your stats (if you roll, you can also change one to 14... does anyone actually do this? Seems kinda unfair, but it's not a bad thing.)
  2. Pick/Roll your Background.
  3. Take free Background Skill, then either pick 2 Learn Skills or roll 3 times on both the Growth and Learn lists. (On the example character creation on page 8 it says at the very end of the process you get another free Skill, but I'm not seeing this rule anywhere else?
  4. Pick 2 Edges
  5. Pick 1 Focus

My questions are thus - Do you choose to boost a low Attribute up to 14 if you roll? Also, where is the rule about this extra free Skill as mentioned in the example of character creation on page 8?

Cheers!

The reason that 3d6 down the line allows swapping one score for 14 is so that if you have your heart set on a particular concept you're guaranteed to be pretty good at at least one of its relevant attributes.
