Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Modifying Attribute Penalty on Skills?

-70% at level 16... However, if I set the level to -10 I get a 5% boost and at -5 the penalty is removed completely.. For now I'll just keep it set to -5, but am I correct in assuming that the level of the skill determines the penalty, and at a level of -1 there should be no penalty?
Well to answer my own question I guess not.. But thank you for the help again!
