Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Mind Reading - Does practice make you better

I've read in a review that there is a NPC who grants you a skill point if you read their mind.

I encountered someone with a high cost(1000xp or something) but I got a lvl up from it and no XP debt.

Imo if you encounter an important person or character, read their mind for a surprise. The reward is almost always worth it.
