Adding Int and getting skill points?

Post by Eponine » Wed Jun 23, 2010 1:06 pm

If you add two points of Int will you retroactively get the extra skill points you would have had if you had started with that Int? (This is for a sorcerer build)

Con gives you retroactive hitpoints just fine. (just like when it is buffed/debuffed)

If you're planning to increase Int, it's best to add those points early for the extra skills.

Then you must reconcile yourself to the fact that something is always hurt by any change. If you do this, you will not be hurt yourself.
