I know you can increase a skill by spending 5XP but is there any way to learn a new skill ?
General skills, that you don't have any skill ranks in, start with an effective level of 0 so, as I see it, can be increased by XP?
What about Advanced skills ?

Cheers, Chris

I could only find this when checking the PDF:

Page 28
LEARNING SKILLS AND TALENTS
When you’ve gathered 5 XP, you can take an advance. An advance is either increasing a skill level by 1, or learning a new talent. You can never raise a skill level above 5.

So by RAW you can freely purchase the first skill level in an Advanced Skill, if you have 5 XP to spend.
