Eh ? I leveled up for the first time and some of the skills that were available to me when i created teh character are now greyed out and not available (i havent multiclassed) ...

Whats the use in that ? If i knew they werent going to be consistently available then i wouldn't have invested in them in teh first place.

????

cheers

Skills as in alchemy etc?
I dunno why they are greyed out... they shouldn't be... unless you have already maxed out for that level...
No idea

If they are cross-class skills, the max # you can have is 1/2 of what a class skill could be, not rounded up. Class skills can be at most your level +3.

where these skills cross-class skills (cost 2 pts)? if so, you can't raise them as high as class skills (1 pt).

For class skills, the formula is lvl+3. so max @ 2nd lvl is 5.
For cross-class skills, the formula is (lvl+3)/2. so max @ 2nd lvl is same as lvl 1 which is 2.

cross-class skills will advance every other level if you keep them maxed.

Yeah, any skill that costs two points can only be raised every other level if you've already maxed them. For fighters, that means anything outside of intimidate.

And in AD&D, fractions are always dropped. So Night Stalker is entirely correct; that's the formula in use.

However, if you multiclass, that changes; they calculate on the total character level. My fighters with a couple Rogue levels could bring up rogue skills by one every level gain, though they cost 2 points.
