I could be wrong, but to my memory the skills I found in my first playthrough were First Aid, Adrenaline, and Levitate (unaffected by stuff under you for a few turns).
I never considered it before, but I'm curious about levitate, does anyone know if you are still 'standing' in the terrain for purposes of cheaper spell costs? (Stand in fire - > all fire spells cost 1 less AP to cast; etc.)
Adrenaline obviously amazing, and early game substantial, but not necessarily that important as I could have just taken a point into the Rogue-like tree to grab it, and likely would have grabbed a couple others if I had.
