    [​IMG] The lame manual does not state anywhere how many skill points are given by class at level 1. I know that INT affects it, but what does each class get? Anyone got the answers?

    [​IMG] Classes get the following starting skill points:

    Rogue = 4
    Barbarian, Bard, Druid, Monk, Ranger, Sorcerer = 2
    Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Wizard = 1

    You then add the Int modifier to the base score and then multiply by four. ;)

    For Example:
    Barbarian (2 + Int Mod) x 4 = starting skill points.

    Thanks for that Sylvan. Did you get that from an official DND book? I just can't understand why the manual could not include this...

    I found it on one of the many Icewind Dale 2 websites a month or two before the game arrived in New Zealand.
