Pre-prepared skill point
pre-prepared skill point
Plural: pre-prepared skill points
Sometimes you prepare things (like dinner; or yourself, for battle) so that you can have them right now. Other times, you have to prepare things ahead of time so you'll have them later. The former is easy enough to explain, but English doesn't allow you to specify the latter without sounding like a goofball.
Nonetheless, these skill points fall into the second category. They were prepared long ago for some unknown future moment when they might be used. Could that moment be now?
