Thread: POLL: Skill Point Investment [RESULTS]
Just today I was playing around with a new character builder based on the CU and noticed that the elite combat profs have been bumped up to 106 skill points (same as Dancer has always been) from the 92 that they used to be.
Since the CU will place me at a disadvantage that I am not at now in regards to combat as well as the Wound Healing branch in dancer becoming useless I vote for #2.
I would like to see the Skill Point requirement dropped to be on par with Architect, Tailor, Chef etc. Which would be 92 Skill Points.
However I would not be totally against #3 just prefer #2.

I always thought that combining the 2 would be a good thing in a way.. You combine both Tech Lines, so that you get both the skill from Dancer Tech and Musician Tech... and both BF healing lines so you get all the same BF healing abilities..
Then you have a Dancing Knowlage line and a Musician Knowlage line.. when you getthe knowlage IV Boxesyou get the option to choose the title "Master Dancer/Master Musician" so that people who want to identify with a particular skill can. andit also gives those who don't want tobe identifyed as both the option too.
But, my point is that, if that if they end up combining the trees, then in order to get the full benefits of Master Dancer, you would also be required to get all of the musician lines. I don't mind a system that combines the trees so much as I mind a system that requires me to go all the way up musician so I can have exotic4. It's the same reason I hate that a musician has to go up the dancing and ID lines in Entertainer just to get the mandovial. It's the requirement of taking on extra skill points in order to be a "full" dancer that I don't like. Does that make any sense?
If what you're suggesting is that you get ALL of the dances at Knowledge IV as well as the title of Master Dancer, which would kind of mean there's no point to a Master Performer box at all...well, that would be fine too.
You know I don't think I would have a problem with that.. Heap the Master box Benifits into Dancing/Musician IV along with the Titles.
I Don't think everyone would like that Idea tho.

Then again, on the same arguement, I don't see that many Master Politicians running around since they eliminated skill points for them.

Well you have to get votes to get master politician, and most politicians are MAJOR a**wipes about letting people run for election in "Their" cities... Dimocracy indeed... Pfft
If I was a politician, I wouldn't have liked all my skill points being removed. However, politician is a bit different from the entertainer professions in that not everybody can be a politician. There are a finite amount of cities, and I can never conceive the entire game full of people running there own cities with only 4 other residents. LOL. Being a politician still has some benefit, prestige, and uniqueness completely due to how their profession works. I suppose politician does work without the skillpoints even though I am initially adverse to the idea.
On the other hand, entertainer professions without skill points means that everyone CAN be an entertainer. Everybody can get the same exact benefit. There is no benefit, prestige or uniqueness of being an entertainer. I ultimately don't contribute to the game world or have any function since everybody else can do it. Nobody will ever need an entertainer like they do a politician to run a city.

We disagree here how? 
Yousaid what I was kinda hinting at... The fact that you need votes as a politiciankeeps the population down.. All anyone needs to master Musician/Dancer is a cantina and a macro (sadly)
1. I would like for our Skill Point requirement to stay the same.
