Saved characters

[Grahor]

Previously when I've loaded a saved character, say, lvl6, he had 5 skill points. Now, I'm loading lvl6 character, he is still lvl6 and costs 2000, but doesn't have any skill points. Is it a new behavior or is it something broken in my game? No mods.

When you save a character you need to make sure you invest those points.
If you do not invest those points, and you save and load your character, they will be lost.
I've noticed that too, and it's either a bug or a limitation.
Just invest the points, then save the character.

I think I've invested the points. Hmm. Not really sure. I'll have to check and compare.

Try resetting his skills

His reset skill button is inactive. Do you mean level him up until I'll get another skill point, invest it and then reset? I'll try.

saved characters? How do they work?

There is a "save" button in the UI of every character. You can export them to be recruited again in different campaigns. Recruiting them removes them from the saved character list.

So you get to keep the special trait, and their level + skills. Costs a ton to recruit, too.

If the character's skill tree changes after it was saved you will lose the invested skill points.

Yeah, both unspent Skillpoints and EXP-to-next-level are lost upon loading. And Respec only returns spent Skillpoints (skill tree changes).
But you still pay for that EXP you're not getting - so load the character to dump the EXP and save it again so it only costs the level.
