Skills to train for SK early levels?

[mrreavers]

I'm confused on what skills I should train for SK in the early levels. I'm a iksar. Anything to train or should I just save them up?

You should really just place 1 point in your melee & spell skills, And just skill them up as you are leveling.

You can use the extra points in things like trade skills or languages .

might want to throw them into hide when you get that to max it, but tradeskills are useful too get to 21 before doing them.

You should grab each melee skill as it becomes available (dodge, parry, disarm, etc) and level them as you level up. I'd recommend hotkeying Disarm and Hide and using them frequently just for practice, and they'll probably be maxed by 60 (Hide much sooner, as SKs don't have a high skill cap on it).

Casting skills, same deal - but I'd recommend practicing lots of Abjuration by casting Endure Disease or Cold over and over. Feign Death is Abjuration, and fizzling it can put you in hot water (and OOM).
