	For '''skill enhancives''', the choice between bonus and ranks depends on training level. The relationship between skill ranks and skill bonus is non-linear — the first 10 ranks each provide 5 bonus, the next 10 provide 4 each, and so on. For completely untrained skills, rank enhancives provide significantly more benefit than bonus enhancives of the same value. However, at 40 or more ranks of training, ranks and bonus provide identical benefit. For most actively trained skills, bonus is the better choice: it costs significantly less to recharge and the difference in effective benefit over bonus is negligible or nonexistent at typical training levels.

	For a completely untrained skill, a rank enhancive provides significantly more benefit than a bonus enhancive of the same value. However, at 40 or more ranks of training in a skill, rank and bonus enhancives provide identical benefit. For most trained skills, bonus enhancives are preferable: they are cheaper to recharge, and the difference in effective benefit over bonus is negligible or nonexistent at typical training levels.
