#23416, "idea: takeback"


          

Give every thief one "takeback". Spending a "takeback" allows the thief to "unstudy" a thief skill and get those points back. He still loses whatever practices were spent on that skill.

This could be an edge, or it could just be a freebie since using it still "costs" you one or two practices. So there's a disincentive to people doing it just for the hell of it.

Ignoring the realism angle, the purpose would be to give thieves a chance to reconsider having studied a particular skill if it doesn't measure up to their expectations.

In order to prevent thieves from "loading up" on skills at low levels then dropping one later to free up points for something more useful at the high levels, make it so the "takeback" only becomes available at level 42 of 51.
