However, it's still possible to learn a large number of skills with no investment via Corpse Eating.
Nah, you can only learn 3 cheap skills. First-aid from the elf woman, levitate from the dead Magister by the witch and burn your eyes from the head on a stick.
It might be worth it (depending on your build) but the racial skill is a better reason to choose elf than 150 gold worth of skills - especially as levitate is not required for anything and a waste of a memory slot. I think so anyway - until Lizard can do the shed-skin you keep going on about I'm sticking with elf ...
