extra skill points for casters

Post by Wolfarus »

This is aimed more at wiz's / sorcs then clerics or druids.

My wiz is having to "waste" 6-10 (depending on what did with the previous level up) skill points on skills he'll never get any significant use out of, save maybe tumble.

Is there a way to code in a script (maybe out of the purist hall) that will let the wiz choose a skill thats normally not a part of his class set, and then get to put points into that? For example, once you reach the required level (say 13 ) you go to chuck, and choose a skill to become part of your class skill set (so i could choose, say, spot). Or even better, for every 10 points you invest into your token, your spell dc goes up by 1. This would also help solve the epic wiz problem with dc's not keeping up that well with resistences and saves. Or make it so that putting points into the crafting skill sets will enhance a wiz's creations in some way beyond what they can already do.

Just something i thought id toss out, since it bugs me to waste skill points on skills i'll never get any use out of, save tumble

You'r a class with int as primary stat, and you are going to invest most lvlup stats into int...... Beeing that smart, you are bound to know [censored] you dont need.

what im trying to get across is that wiz's/sorcs really waste skill points like no other class, it would be nice for casters to not throw away so many points on crap skills they wont ever need, or be usefull to them.

Well I have a pure wizard and he has more skill points than he needs I don't have a problem with that. What worries me more when planning builds is when one doesn't have enough skill points

also if you what to make batter use of all these skill points multi class and save up your points to dump them every time you take one of the other class lvls

Just give wizards perform, then we can all pay to see illusions!

I've been working on a way to tranfer those extra unwanted skill points that wizards don't want onto my own characters. I'll let you know how it turns out. :mrgreen:

I think it only fair that wizards and sorcerors be allowed to exchange their skill points for experience points. For every 1 skill point they "turn in", they get 10 xp!

Man, they could be 41st level!
