There's an amount assigned based on the level of the campaign (normal, heroic, epic, superhuman). EDU is optional, so the skill point totals are standardized, or EDU is used if used. But it's a "get X points for profession, X points for personal interests (based off INT)" with a few options (the "how does your character solve problems?" extra skill points from Elric!).

Plus, taking additional age for more skill points.

Characters generally have more base skill points than any previous iteration of BRP, or at least that's my impression based on the playtest.

As an optional rule, but matching the system (more or less) from RQ3.
