User Guide

Click on the skill name of the skill you want to spend some
points on. The skill will highlight, and the pointer on the right-hand
side of the skill column will jump to the skill level. You can spend
points by clicking on the plus sign on the pointer. If you change your
mind, and spend too many points, you can click on the minus sign
(but you can’t reduce your skill below the point where you started
spending skill points, naturally). Until you actually hit the DONE
button and return to the game, you can make as many adjustments
as you wish. If you click on the CANCEL button, it will restore your
character to the state you were in before making any changes.
You can spend as many skill points as you have in the skill point
pool. Once you are out, you won’t get any more skill points until you
get another level.
The maximum skill level is 200%. If you have 200% in a skill,
you cannot add more points to that skill.
PERKS
Besides skills, it is possible for experience to reward you in
another manner - Perks. You get one Perk every three levels (level 3,
6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21), unless you have the Skilled trait (every four
levels; level 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20). A Perk is a new ability. Perks are
based on your character, and the list of Perks that you can choose
from is based on what level, statistics, and skills your character has.
You will have the opportunity to pick a Perk when you enter the
character screen after achieving a level that grants you a Perk. You
can choose not to pick a Perk, but if you don’t select one before the
next Perk-granting level, you lose it.
