Hi there everyone, this is my first post in this forum since I just got this game a week ago. I have been playing this game with the latest patch available which I believe to be 1.034. I am now at around level 14 but everytime I level up I only recieve 1(ONE) skill points everytime. I have been following the threads on this forum and it appears to me that when others are leveling up they are recieving way more than just one skill point to spend. I even read one person who claimed he had about 5 skill points UNUSED after spending around 25 when he was around LEVEL 7. I m NOT new to RPG, so I have a vague idea of how this all works, but I just dont seem to figure out what I have done wrong to deserve only 1 skill point. My character somewhat looks like this:

Female Warrior
Str : 42
Agility: 30
Intelligence: 10
Constitution: 35

Any help from u guys would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!

First of all, welcome to the forum Lithium. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Second of all, there is nothing wrong with having one pint per level but you shall have a bonus now and then.
Relax, because some players do not spend the bonus points on skills until they are sure they need to do that, and until they know exactly which skill they need to boost.
Every one gets one skill point per level as a basic rule but you may receive 2, 5, 10 or more points occasionally.

Last of all, welcome to the forum again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

i've only ever found to get one, and occasionally 2, but never any more than that at level up time!

5 stat points and one or two skill points

does this clarify things?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

WOW guys, thanks for such a quick response. This is great and you guys are doing a great job.

Well I guess that clears it up. I do remember getting 2 skill points when I reached level 5 and 10 so I guess every 5th level u get 2 skill points and rest only 1. I have yet to experience any 5 or 10 skill points yet. Although that would be really nice when it happens.

Thanks again for quick responce.

Hi again Lithium, the 5, 10 or more I believe are related not to experience point level ups but to quest phases.
IIRC when you become the divine one and return into the wastelands you get a big number of skill points and 8 new skills become available.

You are awarded 1 skill point every level and 1 addition skill point every five levels (starting from level 5). So you are awarded 6 skill points every 5 levels. You can also acquire skills from completing quests and and reading books, but you cannot select what skill you receive.

And welcome to the forums!
