User blog:Circy/Blades of Light & Shadow: Skill Points

I update this blog while we progress through this story. I like your input, if you want to give it to me.

How to get the maximum amount of skill points out of each chapter?
I want to know this.

So I thought I make a bog for this to look up easy what I found out. Maybe you want to help me? Maybe it will be usefull for you too? Remember: You don't have to do exactly like this. I probably won't either, in the end, but I do want to know!

How do the skill points work?
The theory so far for counting up the skills is:

1/5 skillbar = 2XP on correct choices

1/50 skillbar = 5 or 10XP on correct choices

1/100 skillbar = 10 or 20XP on correct choices

The Tests
So, to test this, I'm going to do a Diamondfree route and a Diamond route. The Diamondfree route is on Elf and the Diamond route I do on Orc. I'm not sure if this is a true test, but eh, I'm doing this mostly for my own fun, sooo... :D

Diamond Route : The Female Orc: Brawling, Charisma, Woodslore and Beastmaster (6/100 at end of chapter 2)

Diamondfree Route : The Female Elf: Bows, Seduction, Medicine and Charisma (11/100 at end of chapter 2)

My findings so far:
It looks like the best skills for each chapter are:


 * Chapter 1 and 2:

For Orc + Diamond Route : Any Combat skill will do and choose Seduction or Charisma as your second. And later, as a third, you best choose Medicine or Woodslore. These skills are the most used for the first few chapters and, if you do all your choices right, should give you the chance to level up to skillbar 1/100 before the end of chapter 2 (when you plan on buying the tablet). And give you the opportunity to pick your fourth skill. Not sure yet what would be the best pick for that.

For Elf + Diamondfree Route : Any Combat skill will do and choose Seduction as your second. And later, as a third, you best choose Medicine or Woodslore. These skills are the most used for the first few chapters and, if you do all your choices right, should give you the chance to level up to skillbar 1/100 after the fighting at the Temple of Ellara. You can then choose your fourth skill. If you choose Charisma, you have the opportunity to charm Mal and so get the maximum amount of points for chapter 2 (when you don't plan on buying the tablet).
