Why is 9 the max level?

[Mouth]

I'm barely through the first boss and one of my dudes is capped. That's not fun. Granted, he's the reason I did 89 damage to a dude in a single turn, but there was no indication of it being the max level.

huh, I am at level 8 on my main squad I will have to remember that. I guess it encourages you to train up other dudes for easy missions and have your boys for a hard one.

Also you can spec other guys differently for a more varied experience.

If this is the case, my main complaint is that you cannot respec a newly purchased character...at least that I am aware of.

did you not respond in another topic about the dlc character being level 20? im not at that point yet but maybe they cap at 9 until you unlock a secondary class?

Makes sense. I've found that this game doesn't give me wiggle room to train up scrubs. (I'm about 230 days in). Though I might as well, just make a save before I deploy and see what happens.

If someone dies and you researched the (forgot the name) stasischamper you can sacrifice them to get more ability points.

Really...Does that mean over the max level if so that is an odd mechanic.

Promotes a sacrificial unit in a squad.

Than again this is 40k so.....maybe that makes sense.

I have not looked at them yet but you do get Advanced classes later on. The paladin, chaplain and librarian? Theyre better knights, maybe they get more points to use?

There is an achievement called "true mastery" for maxing out all skills so it should be possible.

If 9 is max and you cannot repec my guess is you have to bring along a human sacrifice to stuff in the stasis chamber to boost your other people.

Considering 1000 psykers a day for a emperor what is a few psyker brothers for a knight. Still an odd mechanic to me.

I would have preferred dreadnoughts.

Strange enough my friend has a level 20 purifier. He got it randomly from somewhere

Rank 9 is the normal rank for regular Knights.

Rank 20 is only initially available for Garran Crowe.

Dunno how it works via Stasis Chamber, which can allow you to train more abilities than normal, but since I never once lost a Knight during my first campaign on Standard, I never experienced that part of the mechanics.
