Unable to pick new Kai skills?

[kurgan]

Hi everyone, new to the forum and the software.

I run into a problem after completing book 1 - I'm unable to pick an additional Kai skill even though the certificate correctly promotes me to Aspirant and my Kai rank is displayed as such.

There's only 5 disciplines listed, and I can't pick any new ones from the Kai Disciplines page or anywhere else I've tried.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something basic. Could someone point out what I'm missing?

In case it makes any difference, I’m using Vista.

I'm pretty certain you are playing on "Hardcore" rules, where you only get to select 5 Disciplines for your entire run as Lone Wolf. Your rank still goes up as you complete books, but the actual number of disciplines you can choose does not go up.

Check the "gameplay options" to see if this is the case. (while you are loaded into your current game)

Ah, that's it. Thanks for the reply. Hm, wanted to go Hardcore, but had looked foward to getting more skills as the series progressed. Think I'll do a By-The-Book run instead.

By the way, love the program, it's excellent.
