Skills started at 0. They gave +5 to starting skill cos people would put all their points into casting. Unfortunately most your dps at level 1 is melee. This meant some races would be unable to solo whites at level 1 until after several deaths worth of skill ups (i'm thinking of erudites with their 70 dex/agi taking lots of hits and gaining no skill ups and only hitting for min damage with their 70 str).
Anyone remember equipment dropped by animations (i.e evil eye pets) being usable by PCs. I'm sure these items didn't start as race: none. Maybe shadowed weapons too.
