Ok tracking rank 1 is missing in the novice list here... which list should it be under? I see it under melee and stealth now. And it is marked a different levels.

Ok. Track was not supposed to be on Melee. Problem solved.

Track 1 is an Apprentice level skill. Track is on the Universal list and costs more points because anyone can learn how to track. People who know how to evade are better at learning how to track. That's why is starts a tier up but is cheaper in Stealth.
