Question About Talents That Can Add Skills

[resistor]

Do bonus skill points from Talents like "Menacing" cap when the character's total bonus skill is at 12, or just when the bonus skills provided by the trait is at 12? If the latter is true, investing points a lot of points in Intimidate for a BH Template seems like a waste, because it will probably reach 12 anyway whether or not you start with only a few bonus Intimidate, or 10.

resistor - when the total bonus reaches 12, including any points assigned at creation time. So yes, it is not in your favor to invest in Intimidation for BH at the start of the game.
