    I'm almost to the Void, (just began the Vendigroth Ruins), and I realized that I have about 24 points to spend, as well as another 5 or so once I level to 50. I'm a point miser, saving and saving until I absolutely have to spend them. But, there really isn't a point at this juncture, and I wanna spend em.

    The problem is, I don't really know what to spend them on. I don't really want any of the technological things (I am a tech character, with mastery of Firearms and Persuasion), other than maybe the Tesla Gun (worth it?). In fact, most of what I am most interested in is in the Magic section, but I kinda want to hold out and make an entirely magic based character for a second (EVIL) playthrough. I also don't want to neuter my gun capabilities by messing with my affinity.

    So, I guess I'm just looking for suggestions? Any tips? Thanks in advance.

    I suppose it depends how you want to end the game, do you want to be more charismatic perhaps.

    Well than go for the Tesla Gun, it's quite amusing. And if you don't ant tech and save magic for the next game, there isn't really anything significant left. Apart from maybe becoming a master is some skills, for the pride mostly. You could also consider adding points to charisma, if there are some followers with which you would travel to the end, but they always refused because of your follower limit.

    Knowing that you get a total amount of 64 CP in your game (if you get all the way to lvl 50), you can plan your next character ahead.

    Also fell more freely with your CP's, after all they are there to be spend and increase your character per level.

    Drop them all into health or fatigue if you have nothing better to dump them in, never hurts to have that damage buffer.

    29 CPs dropped into health and/or fatigue...? The pain, it burns so badly...

    Learn the first of every spell and every tech field, then you're truly an allround character.
