Assassin Level 1 Not Granting (6 + Int Mod)*4 Skill Points

[Pala]

Hi there,

Description
==========

Following on from my recent post re: my Assassin's abilities breaking since the reset, it's also missing skillpoints now.

I'm unsure if the skillpoint issue coincides with the recent reset, but I know for sure right now that Assassin level 1 is not granting (6 + Int Mod)*4 skill points, as it previously did and is supposed to.

A few days ago, after hearing about the incoming -relevel for Ranger or SD characters, I made a new build for my character on PGCC. It ended up with 324 skillpoints @ level 30. Calculation: all of its classes get (6 + Int Mod) skillpoints per level, and Ranger and Assassin are supposed to grant (6 + Int Mod)*4 skill points on their first levels. My character's Int Mod is 3.

Level 1 Ranger, Level 1 Assassin, 28 other 9 skill point levels: (9*4) + (9*4) + (9*28) = 324.

I was confused when after -relevel(ing) the character on live, my skillpoints weren't adding up. After a lengthy process of trial, error, and deduction, it became clear that Assassin was no longer granting (6 + Int Mod)*4 skill points on level 1, and that was where the skill discrepancy was coming from.

It would be great to get a fix for this as soon as possible, gamer friends.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

Take your first level of Assassin.

Expected result
-----------------------
Get (6 + Int Mod)*4 skill points.

Actual result
-------------------
Get just 6 + Int Mod.

Thanks very much for your time once again.

All the best,

Pretty sure the (6+Int)*4 or any of the *4 level 1 points are only on your first character level. So on Arelith, you won't ever be able to play an Assassin at level 1. This is why people are careful about what class they pick for their first character level. Because you can get a huge boost to your skills if you choose something like rogue.

Hi Archnon,

It, of course, goes without saying that nobody can ever take Assassin at Character Level 1.

Either way, for some reason, whether it's the one I theorised or not, 27 skillpoints have suddenly vanished between the builds being made previously, and the builds being made now.

Just waiting for what the Devs/those qualified opinion is. Thanks for your input nonetheless.

Ranger and assassin are not supposed to be granting 6+int * 4 on their first levels. You only get a *4 to skill points at character level 1, not any class level 1. This looks like it's working as intended.

If that's the case, Gar, which it absolutely could be, how does one of my builds with the exact same Class split and Int mod have 27 more points? I wasn't aware you could bug in more skill points somehiw. I'm so confused.

[garrbear758]

It is the case. Your first build was bugged not the new one. I'm not sure what got messed up there, but it kind of resolved itself.

Thanks, Gar!
