Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Master skills

During my first play through I watched several vid walkthroughs and noticed that the player's Characters had master level skills, but at level 21 I can only get 3 levels any skill. The vids were a bit old, the newest I viewed was done early 2016, so was there a patch or update that changed leveling up or,( and most likely), did I miss something ?

Level 1 of an ability requires 1 ability point, level 2 requires 2 points, etc. If you have a level of an ability from a talent, trait or equipment bonus, that does not affect the cost to learn the next level; for example, Jahan starts with the Scientist talent, which gives + 1 to blacksmithing and crafting; in that case, learning level 2 of either ability would cost 1 point, level 3 would be 2 points, etc.

Mater level skills require level 4 or 5 of the applicable skills ability. After character level 11 you start getting 3 ability points per level, so you'd have to save some points until the next level in order to invest 4 or 5 at a time.

Thanks Raze, I did not think of that I always used all my points on level up.
