    I usually max out Persuasion just because there's nothing else to do before The Void.
    It's a Quest, so I do it for the XP.

    If you're computer can handle it, go for max persuasion and charisma, get other to do the fighting for you. Also, find all the stuff that increases your max followers :smile:.

    its worth the exp. you gain but not the skill poits you lose. i dont have followers and i feel that the game is more challening when you have no helpers. the exp. i gain by fighting (much easier)

    however, even without followers, it is still worth the skill points because it unlocks a LOT of quests.. :smile:

    What items??

    Someone in this thread mentions items that add to the max followers you can have, what are these and where does one find them? Are they magical or can a mech use em?

    Jewel of Hebe adds to your Charisma (and Beauty). It's in the Tarant Panarii Temple.

    Persuasion

    I think it's worth it; also, I usually have some leftover skill points as a mage (I usually max out 3 or so colleges and leave it at that.)
