Skill Points
Skill points are used to increase the power of your skills. Some skills cannot be assigned skill points, but most skills can have between 0 and 10 skill points assigned to them.
You can acquire skillpoints in 3 different ways:
- Pre-prepared skill point can be acquired and used to gain 1 skillpoint.
- Bonus skill point can be acquired and used to gain 1 skillpoint.
- Leveling up grants skillpoints at each level. 2 per level during Original Continuity. Once a Retcon occurs, additional skill points happen once per level, for each retcon.
- After 1 retcon, 3 skill points will be earned at level 2
- After 3 retcons, 3 skill points will be earned at levels 2, 3, and 4
- After 11 retcons, you gain 4 skill points at level 2 and 3 points at levels 3-11.
- Extra skill points from retcons are distributed in levels 2-11, at levels 12+ you get 2 skill points per level.
