#31973, "Couple thoughts on the skill costs."
Edited on Mon 19-Apr-10 01:48 PM

          

Glimpse is too expensive. It should be one point. Honestly. What's it do that a key or a lockpick wont show you?

Improved hide... It needs to be at most 2 points unless it's going to do more than what it does. I would suggest to future thieves, this is not a cool skill.

Covert... 1 point skill. This is all but useless.

Veil of Secrecy needs a longer timer.

Not sure what that Arcane Lore was good for or doing. Didn't use scrolls much.

Isn't it one point? That's what I have in my spreadsheet.

Also- It may cost what it does just to make that particular path work out right expense-wise. If glimpse were made cheaper then the next skill would probably be made more expensive by the same amount.

Only the non-path skills really have their cost directly tied to their "value".

Yeah. I'm not super enamored of improved hide either. Its better now than it used to be, though. Formerly it wouldn't work on cb.

>Covert... 1 point skill. This is all but useless.

Its pretty niche, yeah.

From my perspective, playing a thief without scrolls is like playing a mage without wands. (Unless you're doing Battle Thief).
