I met Taxlehix, an imp merchant, in Act I, the Citadel Maze area. He offers me the four Thieving skills (Pickpocket, Lockpick, Sneak, Poison) for $900 each. I already have these skill paths enabled, and my DK and hero both have two points in Poison/Weapon Damage and one point in Poison/Extra Duration.

Tax apparently offers to teach the skills up to level ten. But when I click on Poison I lose $900 and gain nothing. For both of my characters, the damage skill remains at level 2 and the duration at level 1.

I tried putting a skill point into Sneak and selecting that skill from Tax’s list, but again I lose $900 without an increase in the skill level.

I'm playing version 1.47.

Is this a bug? What’s happening? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />


Solipsism is a human being's only valid concept of self.
