  • Points are first placed into the core skill (e.g. Melee) of the specialized skill (e.g. 1-Handed Melee) which improves all of the specialized skills in that group up to Rank 50.
  • Once it reaches Rank 50, skill points can be directly added to the specialized skill to increase the effect up to Rank 100/ 150 (Only available whit Peril on Gorgon DLC).
  • Some armor, consumables and status effects can temporarily raise and lower the effects of your skills.

      The rank 60 perk is perhaps the best thing in the game to make up for the fact that there's not nearly enough skill points to flesh out dialog, stealth, and tech skills while also maintaining a good weapon specialty. Use your companions to ace your skill checks with rank 60 inspiration.
