So you've decided to go with a Core Ability instead of a Bloodline! Good choice. This opens up a lot of options for you. While Core Ability users can never get the whole table they select, they can pick and choose which parts they want to gain, allowing more customization of their character. Core Ability skills are also more versatile, with different types of skills from Bloodlines.
Points
Each Core Ability comes with thirty points worth of skills, of which any one user of it may only have access to twenty at a time. These points are gained gradually as you level up.

Each individual CA skill costs points, listed with the skill. Make sure you have enough points for the skill you wish to learn before you make the attempt.
Learning a Skill
In order to learn CA skills, you must post the following things:
1) Your Core Ability, with a link to its topic.
2) The skill(s) you wish to learn, with their point values and any prerequisites.
3) A link to your profile.
If all of that checks out, then your CA skill(s) will be approved and you may place them in your profile.
Unlearning a Skill
CA skill unlearning is identical to Ability unlearning, in that there are two ways to do it.
The first is to simply make a post saying you are unlearning whatever skills you wish to forget. However, if you do this, you cannot learn any new skills with the points the old ones used for one week from your post. (If you have spare CA points when unlearning, you may still use those within the week.)
The second is to include a 300+ word RP per each skill you're unlearning. This allows you to learn new skills right away with the points the old ones used to use.
