In my approach to the Eldar Path I've always assumed that a part of the 'focus' that the Eldar Path allows tends to mean that all else gets pushed by the wayside. Non-Path skills (etc.) tend, for me, to be pushed behind a barrier in their mind and remain 'hard to get at'? Since I tend to represent things in RPG terms, something I find useful for consistency, this ends up (currently) as:
This approach does, for the most part, work. However, if you read some of the latest BL novels, whatever you might think of them int terms of whether they are canonical or not, the implication is that the Path is basically like a changing job. You stay on your job for a given time and then shift to another, with no real investment in it.
I was wondering what peoples' thoughts on this matter were?

- Primary or Core skills: Those that are directly related to the Path and Way that the eldar is upon. These skills can be developed through experience and practice (i.e. that's the whole point of the Path).
- Secondary or Related skills: While they are not considered the 'core skills' they are still useful or necessary for a follower of a given Path or Way. They cannot, however, be modified through experience: they are "set".
- Tertiary or Unrelated skills: These are all the other skills. They lie behind the aforementioned 'barrier' and while they can be called upon, to do so risks a 'nexus', a point at which the previous Paths can come to dominate and the whole reason that the Path was created in the first place.
