I dont think investing in mindread or wisdom is worth wasting the skillpoints either. You get a +2 wis necklace from Derelict and i wear that untill i get my class armor from one of the fortresses. You can put 3 enchantments on it AND upgrade them as you find better. Rangers can use the +1 wis Bow from saving the guy down in the pit also, for a little while at least...

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
