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
- Getting the Educated Support perk
There is no level cap, so a Character can continue leveling up far beyond the last Perk at level 24 (choose before level 30!). With enough leveling, any Character can "top out", which is the level required to max all Skills.

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.
NOTE: Skill Points are limited to 99 (2-digits) on your Character info, so remember to spend them as you level up!
