Does anyone know if putting skillpoints into a skill on character creation stops buying training in it later?

I was going to try to get to as many trainers as possible before spending skillpoint in a skill to try and save skillpoints.

I was wondering what skills this is viable for.

Playing guardian on torment.

The answer to this question depends on whether you're playing Geneforge 1, 2 or 3. Trainers work differently in each.

in 3, putting skill points into the skill by level advancement before training does reduce the number of times you can train. using a canister or book does not, however, as i recall.

but does for example putting skillpoints into for example strength _during character creation_ stop training in it later?

not during level advancement.

Yes. Skill points you spend during character creation are treated the same way as ones you spend later on, so it'll still prevent you from purchasing training.

mind you, in GF3 i don't recall any trainers that train strength. it can pretty much only be increased by canisters or shaping iirc (and shaping is more or less the same as canisters).

so, i would say don't hold off on buying strength if that's what you're aiming for. pretty much you can train in the combat skills, the spell skills, spells, and creations, and i don't think there's anything else that i can remember...

Yes, in gf3, the only skills a guardian or a shaper need to train this way are blessing and spellcraft. Agent quick combat and spellcraft.
