Hi

From the beginning of the game,
I did see that my Intelligence was 9
(in the hope to receive more skill points, when leveling up.

In my first level-ups, I did receive 15 skill points
I'm now just become level 3 and did receive only 14 skill points :wacko:
Strange, because I didn't had change anything.

I'm curieus for the next level up ...
I hope it doesn't decrease further ... to 13 skill points ?

With an intelligence of 9 you get 14.5 skill points a level - so on odd levels you'll get 15 and on even levels you'll get 14. (Or maybe the odd and even are switched, I can't remember)


Whenever you have an odd number for an intelligence score you'll encounter this.

you must have -1 intelligence somewhere

I had this happen too, I forget if it was one or two times early on, but since then I've been getting the right amount (level 15-odd now). I couldn't be sure if it was a bug or perhaps my stats were being affected by chem withdrawal or something at level-up though (became an alcoholic off my very first beer at the start of the game, I think that reduces INT so might have had something to do with it.)

edit @Hungry Donner: ah I see, that makes - some - sense.

If they didn't alternate there's be no skill point difference between 9 and 10, or if there was a one point difference each point of intelligence then low int characters would have a meager handful of skill points.

Thank you Hungry Donner.

It's now clear to me. Maybe later, I will increase it to 10
