now stats are rolled, and the 1st 6 stats are what generates your skill points. say...35. at this point, a spell caster can use 20pts and basically learn a spell list. my fighter put pts in BD, weapons, armor, to name a few. all my skill points are spent, i am still level 0.
now i advance the character to level 1. roll stat gain. multiple rolls have shown me that the avg. skill point gain is like 2 - 4 pts. how on earth is a spell caster to gain another spell list? 4pt seems like a very small chance. lets say my fighter put 3 more ranks in BD. i now have 4. BD is a 1/3 for me. so every level i want is going to cost me 3 skill points. what if i never gain that many during a level increase? i will have a level 10 fighter with 17 hit points because some one above said i get to roll more hit points only if i increase BD. i thought every level gain, i got to roll a d8 for my common man, for every level of BD so every time my fighter gains a level, unless the rank goes up, i get a 4d8 each level increase, yes?
so i guess my question is, are the number of skill points earned each level really that low?
