Hi,

for the skill Deadly Gift you need to have in your inventory at least 1 of 3 items: a Trailbomb, a Scorpion Trap or a Spider Egg. If you don't have nothing of this you can't use this skill.

It's a good idea to look to the skills of all classes, in fact a Divnity game is classless. But of course YOU can make your Own roleplay rules wink
With my current female hero I don't want to buy better gear and only use what she can find in the world via loot and quest rewards. And gonna try to use mostly daggers as weapon.

Funny thing is I'm playing DD still and on the moment my current hero is also a Survivor level 7 (female) smile
I invest a point in the Freeze spell
And in a few warrior skills as well wink

It's ALL up to You ! Happy hunting !
