Hello,
I'm just getting started and have some questions about how skill points work.
1) IIRC, the manual says that if you start on "Tactical", you start out with 1 skill point, but beginning the game, neither character has any skill points. Am I mistaken about this?
2) Skills only need to be unlocked (learned) once for both characters to be able to put points into it? Ie: if the DK reads a book that unlocks the identify skill, my other char can also put points in that skill - Is that correct?
3) Looking at some skills, like the one-handed weapon ones, it seems that putting one point into the skill shows 0 for its effect, and you only get an actual effect after 2 points. Is this correct? It seems that given you get so few skill points with so many things to spend them on, that this is rather a painful proposition.
4) Is there any way to get more skillpoints besides leveling up? (Ie: magic potions or books?)
5) If I put points in, say, the 1-hand slashing skill - Do I have to specifically select that skill somehow for it to be used, or will it automatically give its bonuses if I use a 1-handed weapon?
6) I started with a DK warrior and hero survivor. I'd like to develop the hero starting as an archer but migrate towards being a strong mage by mid-late game. Will all the mage skills/abilities be available to the hero (assuming I assign attribute points wisely) even if he started as a survivor?
7) What are the most/least useful skills? Is there any good threads here discussing this?
Thanks!
