I've read a couple of threads about hitpoints when levelling and the amount given, and stat points to assign is random. Is this also the case for skill points?

The reason I ask is that when I first started playing the game I flipped through the book and started assigning points to what I thought would be most necessary, not thinking about the role changes... e.g. maxing int on ma's and then raising will & spirituality... maxing int and dex on a ro etc....

However since getting more into the game, and having made several groups now, learning as i go, suddenly the newer groups i create get 1 skill point instead of perhaps 3 or even 4. Obviously this means that working up spell class levels, through not cheating with the cash bug is sheer hell and extremely frustrating.

If anyone has an answer please let me know... now that i've gotten a pretty good grasp of areas and spells it's frustrating to try to get necessary spell levels, such as cure poison or cure while also trying to get great heal, so that i can survive in serpent castle.

thanks.
