| When a character gains a skill from multiple sources (class, subclass, race)
the skill turns into an advanced skill. The degree to which the skill is
advanced depends on the skill percentages from the different sources; for two
skills the formula is roughly percentage_1 * percentage_2 / 100.
Advanced skills can be seen using the skills advanced command.
Advanced skills gain additional bonuses, similar to mastery bonuses.
