Thread: Skill points?
you started at 160/250 skill poins becuse newplayers now start out with the basic box of all novice proffessions.
drop novice artisan, and navice netertainer, that will free up 30 skill points. novice boxes in the low level skill onions cost the most (15 sp a piece) so most final combat templates only have 2. i.e a BH/ pistoleer template only uses scout and marksamn, a cm rifleman template only uses medic and marksman ect.
Commando is special, becuase while it is a ranged proffession, it requires brawler 4/0/0/0. its a really innificient sp use, and there are no benifits to a master commando for having that tree, unless he also picks up smuggler. Master Smuggler Master commando is by far, hands down, the best crowd control template in the game. You have very little firepower to actually kill someone, but you can keep entire enemy groups at bay, and drasticaly reduce there combat effectiveness.
