Manual? Who needs a manual with having the ability to ask us? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Apprentice and so on: I advise you to train the important skills. If you have an fighter char, it's better, he is more trained than the opponents.
The skills even get more effective if you trained them. You don't have to train all skills, only this ones, you use often or want to use often.
You can train each skill three times: apprentice, master, expert. The teacher for the expert-mode aren't to find easily and often have a quest, that is quite hard. But don't mind, getting an expert need some work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
What I really like: from the first quest on, you can decide, whether you walk the good or the evil way. It's on of the rare RPGs that offer this way really, with impacts on the game and all NPCs! That's fascinating.
