Skill points

Skill Points are gained each level and can be spent on skills in order to improve them. The amount of Skill Points per level depends on the following things:

• The character's Intelligence
• Having the Skilled trait gives a character 115 more Skill Points by level 24.
• Getting the Educated Perk gives a character 24 more Skill Points by level 24.

Note: You can get them both, for a total boost of 139 SP by level 24.

Unspent skill points carry over as you level, but only up to 99. If you amass more than 99 unspent skill points as you level up, the game only retains up to 99 points, and you lose all points exceeding that limit. So spend your skill points as you go to avoid this risk, and don't let too many unspent points accumulate as you level up.

2	9	207	14	322
3	11	253	16	368

6	17	391	22	506
7	19	437	24	552
8	21	483	26	598
9	23	529	28	644

As you level up and spend SP to boost your character's skills, the SP cost goes up as the skill goes up. The following chart shows that each skill % point costs 1 SP for non-tagged skills as you boost skills under 100%, but the cost doubles to 2 SP per each skill % as you boost skill levels between 101% and 125%. The cost goes up again at 126% and so on. Tagged skills however cost half as many SP.
