Hello everyone,

I've been playing for a short while now as the Male Warrior, automatically receiving level 1 in Sword Expertise and Augment Damage. In the early stages of the game (Player Level 3 or 4) I noticed that I had level 2 in both Sword Expertise and Augment Damage, without me selecting them. Level 2 in these skills isn't even available until Player Level 5! Has anyone else had this prob... bonus? Is it a feature of selecting the class?

Actually, it is a bug. But a nice one, wouldn't you say? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

That makes me feel better about picking those two less-useful skills earlier on...

Damn how lucky you are hehe

I dont want to know if i could have had that same fortunate event occur seeing they were pretty early choices for my character in the early stages of the game hehe

It happens regardless of your choices. I got extra skill points in the two skills I started the game with.

If it makes you feel better, I lost a skill point last night. I completed the missing fruit cart quest and was awarded a point in Identify, but I was already at level 5.

Okay. I'll have to recall that claim of receiving a free point in Survival Instinct. It's a feature of the Magical Shield I got from the armour merchant in Rivertown. Strangely, I didn't have to pay for the shield, or any of the other pieces of armour sitting in the corner. I picked them up, interested in purchasing it, and my character just stowed it in his backpack. The merchant didn't even raise an eyebrow when I sold some of the stuff back to him.

So I can kind of claim getting it for free. Not only that, I can remove the skill point at any time, allowing me to learn the skill at an earlier level.

that's what we call stealing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

i like taking george's stuff in the beginning when he goes to show me his drugs.

i also have had the extra skill points at the beginning of the game, both times that i have started a game. i picked the male fighter, and upon reaching level two and opening my skills page i notice that i have two points in sword expertise and augment damage.

You have those 2 additíonal skill pts as soon as you save, regardless of lvl.
