I've noticed that if I read a book or use a canister that teaches a skill, spell, or shaped creature, then try to increase it at a trainer, the point I gained from the book/canister counts against the two points I can gain from training; I can only increase the skill to a total of 2, and (assuming I used the only book/canister available to me before training) can apparently never raise the spell/shaped creature above 2. But, if I train two times from the trainer first, I can still use the book/canister, resulting in a total of 3. Is this a bug, and if so, which case is bugged? And, perhaps more importantly, is my character permanently crippled if I train from a book or canister before using a trainer? Posts: 1 | Registered: Monday, June 20 2005 07:00 |

Using books/canisters will count as using one of the points you would have gained from a trainer. Fortunately you can use books/canisters to gain additional points after training two points with a trainer. This is not a bug, just a bad feature. If you want maximum points in whatever skill go to the trainers before using books/canisters.

This is not a bug, if I have understood properly. The trainers can only teach you up to level 2 of any skill, but the canisters give 1 level no matter what level the skill is at. So it is always a good idea to train before using canisters/ books. Did I explain that thoroughly? -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian? How does the Geneforge work? What's as small as nothing? Why am I asking stupid questions? -------------------------------- Shaper teacher : "DON'T TOUCH THAT!" BOOM!! apprentice :*little voice* "Sorry..." --------------------------- Visit CSM !!! And this site is just great! Wow! Did you know what the answer to the gretest question ever is ?

You might not be in too much trouble, because many creations have more than 1 canister available. You can check Shrodinger's faq http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/game/918441.html for locations of all canisters/books/stat-giving quests in the game. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill. However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword, Can also have the power to heal. Posts: 2649 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

Note that for trainers that train statistics (such as the guy in east medab that trains combat skills), it also counts weather you've put skill points into that skill. -------------------- Warning: Posts may contain misspellinks and typo.s Posts: 409 | Registered: Sunday, March 31 2002 08:00 |
