Racial Advancement

As you advance in level, you grow not only in tricks learned from your classes, but also from your race.
Let's face it, in core d20, a dwarf had the same benefits from being level 1 and level 20. In Prime20,
this is no longer a problem! I give you, the Race Advancement Table!

Every level, you get to grab a Racial Trait you qualify for. The exception is 1st level, where many racial
traits are given to you.

Every level where you are supposed to get a racial skill bonus, you get a +1 bonus to any one skill your
race has a bonus to already or has a bonus to the relevant ability score.

This, of course, means that Humans and Half-Elves can choose any skill.

When it says you get a racial ability bonus, you get a +1 to one ability score related to your race.
The school of magic listed is if the character ever picks up the Spell Power racial ability.
