Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Any way to find out which skills you get?

Hello all,

Is there anyway to find out which skills you get per magic class or category. For instance if you take witchcraft is there anyway to find out what this will actually get you? Same goes for warrior / rogue skills.

Also is there anyway to find out which attributes actually play into these skills / weapons? Like some weapons say require x str to wield which would make me assume that's a str based weapons, however I don't seem to see this for dex based weapons so how do you know? Or is it just trial / error?

... It's in the name.

There are Eight schools: 5 Magic (Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Witchcraft), then there are the Warrior and Survivor (Ranged and Rogue), plus one "Special" school which is for non-categorized skills, such as those you acquire through the course of the story.

The 5 magic schools are boosted by Intelligence, the Warrior is boosted by Strength, the Survivor skills are boosted by Dexterity.


Skill type - Ability Required

Earth - Earth Elementalist
Fire - Fire Elementalist
Water - Water Elementalist
Air - Air Elementalist
Witchcraft - Witchcraft
Warrior - Way of the Warrior
Ranger/Rogue/Survivor - Way of the Ranger

Spears and Polearms, Bows, Daggers, Crossbows are all DEX based. Staves are INT based, everything else is STR based.

Thanks for the info, that helps a lot.
