+1 starting and max I think? It seems to be better on your lowest attributes.

Besides the bench, it's also a good opportunity to just read stuff if you've got any books or whatever.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
So I have a Thought that says, as a reward, "Speed gives you +1 PSY." I assume that it's talking about a drug, not the "Reaction Speed" stat, yeah? If so, is it permanent?

Because although I haven't come across any, my PSY is 1 (4/1/3/4) and I will take anything I can get.

Also, game is fantastic. I am gonna paint the poo poo out of that wall once I continue building Conceptualization, my signature skill.

No its not permanent. When you use it, youll get an icon on your portrait that lets you know how many hours are left when you hover over it. One nice thing though is that drugs increase the max skill points you can assign, so when you get speed (or another kind of drug) you can slam two points into volition for the morale health

It's pretty straightforward. It's kind of like a phantom Attribute point; you only add 1 immediate skill point (as opposed to the Attributes being the equivalent of 6 skill points), but you raise the cap of the entire category by 1.
So if you had 6 INT and put your Signature Skill into Logic, it's ALMOST like starting with 7 INT, except you don't get the 6 effective skill points from the base Attribute stat. And then you get a free Skill point allocated to Logic.

I feel like this game needs like a really Random mode. Like, a mode where you don't know your skills or chances of success, so you start as a complete mess who has to figure out what they're good at.

Does forgetting a though keep it advanced and let you retrain it if you get a new slot, or would I have to go through the focus time from the beginning?

It disappears completely if you forget it (as in, you can't actually "re internalize" it). You should never have to do that if you want to keep it though, since both forgetting and buying a new slot costs 1 skill point.

Edit. You should ONLY forget thoughts if you end up really not liking the effects.

The Sherlock Holmes - Robert Downey Jr. Edition. 6/1/1/4. You have voices chattering away with useless trivia every god drat second of the day and it is never any help except when you are able to miraculously assemble ludicrously tiny details to solve every problem around you in ridiculously impossible ways. However, the voices never shut the gently caress up and combined with your complete sociopathy and disregard for social norms you push away everyone who ever cared about you while looking like a crazy hobo to society at large, all of which taken together push you to abuse a wide variety of narcotic substances and drink like an opium addicted whale. Also, despite your constant intoxication you are miraculously a crack shock, amazing pickpocket and lockpicker without peer to help you in those situations when The Voices don't just tell you the answer.

Signature Skill: Encyclopedic Knowledge.


So far this has been very fun. Don't worry about having -/1/1/-, you can heal your way through or level up skills, it has not been a problem for me at all.

I've been doing this as well, but I went Visual Calculus.
