how bout skills that can be bought more than one time?
 
I managed to buy my last available skill (infiltrator, surprise) and now i am full. Levelled out. Finished. Pretty much sucks...

How bout adding skills like
+1% climb
+1% attack - something

that people can buy instead of taking skills they dont want, or simply run out of skills to buy?
Allow multiclassing once you bought out your class tree?
Add a charge-ability (5EP, 1-10 dmg or something that isnt horribly overpowered) to infiltrators, something, anything...
Death machine can spend 2450 in their skill tree, infiltrators 1000...  means they have 1450 more points to look forward.

I do not inend to turn infiltrators into win-machines, but they are boring to level (oh, new skill, i could take... climb! again!) and finished too fast. Please lets make them more interesting =)

I don't think I've ever seen this mentioned before.  I think it's a good idea.  As long as the skills aren't cheap, I don't think most rounds would last long enough for it to break the game, and it is kinda crappy that eventually people reach a point where they stop being rewarded for their XP.

A maxed fast is a nightmare.

If you can max your fast before the snowball begins, you will be a tyrant.  Having 80% climb is wonderful.

I agree that the fast's skill tree is limited, but there are a lot of other general skills.

Could you explain your example skill again? I am not sure that I understand how it would work.

Yes, a maxed infiltrator is a hit an run machine with god chances to infect.
But once you have it all, it just stops being interesting... i like to level, so that stops after a certain point.

my idea was skills like +1% for 50 points or 75, same with +1% bite or claw for 100
But you could buy these skills over and over, further improving your Z even after you bought out your class tree and the general.

Oh, a flat, repeatable skill. That wouldn't be terrible, but I'm just not sure how many rounds we have in which an appreciable amount of fasts max out.

It's 350SP for bite, 375 for infect, 100 for bite regen, and 150 for scent blood and 1000 for climbing. Then if you max, there's another 500SP of useful upgrades to regen and scent blood. That's a chunk of change.

The Strong doesn't have to buy all those general skills. All the strong needs is claw.

So a functional Strong costs 1700SP. A nice fast costs 1975. A maxed fast costs 2475.

It wouldn't be an effective choice if you didn't already have other basic skills like infect, regen and scent blood.

If any class needs more skills, it's medic. I just bought Basic Diag because there is nothing else left for me to buy. I've almost broke 4000SP and 50 kills.

Get back to me when you're forced to buy some claw. .)
