Changing classes Bug (Might have been reported already)

Post by elsol »

Don't know if it has been reported--I'm on a mac.

I was playing around with the classes.

Step 1. Have 20 Skill Points
a. Take Magic-User
b. Take Added Weapons-Bow.

Now have 17 Skill points.

Step 2. Switch to Ranger
Have 2 Points in Weapons Bow with 16 Skill points.

Step 3. Switch to Magic User
Now have 1 point in Weapons Bow & The Free Elemental --- But only have 16 Skill points. <--Note this should be 17.

If I keep switching back and forth... I eventually go negative skill points.

(Works with every class combo if you start with one class and get the skill of the 'other' class ... i.e. a mage who adds divination loses skill points if they switch back and forth from mage & cleric.)

I don't think that qualifies as a bug as much as a feature.

Changing classes causes loss of earlier information so decide before chosing a class.

actually it is a bug. You can do it reversed and gain points. I cannot remember exact skill buying. But you buy a skill change classes, and then get rid of it. Buy a different skill, change classes get rid of it, and you gain a point. Just depends on what order you do it as to whether you gain or lose the point.
