I met the Red Prince as a lvl 2 character. I expected I would be able to assign his attributes (2), and combat skills (1). Instead these were already assigned for me. I looked in the options, but did not see an "auto level" option.

Is this a change from EA, or am I blind? Alternatively, is there a file I can edit to change the behavior from meeting a NPC and having thier level points allocated for me?
