max number of traits?

[Jazzid]

Hi all!
My characters are now getting mighty powerful as I've joined all guilds and trained every skill possible with them. However, I've noticed that when you look at your character's skills and traits the list can only hold ten traits, and when I gain new ones older traits seem to drop of the list". For example, my assassin had level 3 in deathstrike and when I gained a new skill it was removed from the list, and I was no longer able to train it - it's the same story with traits. But are they still active, or are they lost forever?

All skills and traits are still active, even if they do not appear on the screen. For some of the skills e.g. deathstrike, you can still buy training at the guild shops each time you level up. If you want to see all your skills and traits, then you can use the character editor (see elsewhere on this board).

Thanks, that might work... but I still cannot distribute skill points on my "hidden" skills when I level up.

HI Jazzid,

Unfortunately, true and something worth keeping in mind if you replay the game with a different party. One player made the good suggestion of always using your level up points to increase those skills which are going to be first to drop out of sight when additional skills are added. While it is tempting to train in every available skill it may not actually be wise. W&W is heavily sword and staff biased. You can omit training in the other weapon skills and do very well in this game.
For my own parties, I have tried to have each specialize in a few important skills and really get those increased before I add in new skills.

Thanks Wyv, there's always a day to learn new things!
