Going from no-level to Novice costs 5 points. So the xp/point ratio is 600/5 which is 120. From Novice to <no-label> costs 6 points. So the xp/point ratio is 700/6, which is about 117.

Hello Squierrelloid,
This seemed wrong:
"Each use of a starting point in a skill for a dwarf is more valuable than the last such point. Going from Novice -> Normal is worth 600xp. From Normal to Competent is 700xp. And so on. Thus, you'll get the most xp/point spent if you only take proficient skills."
Going from no-level to Novice costs 5 points. So the xp/point ratio is 600/5 which is 120. From Novice to <no-label> costs 6 points. So the xp/point ratio is 700/6, which is about 117. The ratio only continues to go down from there. Gairabad 21:48, 14 December 2008 (EST)
