Potential dissapearing

[Le pp baguette De wewe]

I start the game with say a potential of 160 in strength but at some point it changes to just the base along side feat modifiers. Am i misunderstanding something or is this a bug?

[Hod and vampire co]

the more you use a stat the more it consumes the potential until it hits base stats

I think feats are supposed to up this potential

[Explicitly Offensive Cuneiform]

feats and food increase the potential. training increases skill potential.

Welcome to possibly the best level up system known to gamers.

Base potential is permanent. For skills it's determined by your class and race with a minimum of 100, but for stats it's only affected by specific feats. Any potential beyond that (from food or trainers) will be partially depleted whenever that stat or skill levels up.

So the potential never stays?

Things that increase your "base potential" will stay permanently. If something increases "potential" and not "base potential", then that potential will be partially lost each time the skill or stat levels up.

think of Potential as an Experience Boost, that make it easier to Level the Skill or Stat.

the more you level the Skill in a row, the more you use up the Exp Boost making leveling only one ting giving a Diminishing Return over time.

so think of it as an mechanic to encourage you to level up and train other Skills/Stats, wile your Potential recover over time in the meanwhile fore your other skill's.

it is kind of a subtle way to lead you to try other stuff, and encourage experimentation to find ways to keep your Potential up, the "Potential to Grow".

hope i am making any seance.

You lose some non-base potential each time that skill/attribute levels up.

Not even close.

If I'm reading this correctly, does this means the succubus has the greatest growth potential?
