Hi everyone,
First things first, this mod is just a small thing I wanted to do for myself and I thought I might as well share it.
It only took me a few minutes to do it and I don’t have a lot of time to invest in modding, so it will probably stay this way.
I followed a few topics here and there about the lack of skill points and I completely agree with those that brought it to attention.
While the game play fine as it is, it greatly lacks variety since most builds only revolve around 3 or 4 maxed skills.
My goal was simply to increase the number of skill points you gain each time you level up in order to unlock more skills and have a greater versatility with each character.
I made four separate mods to allow each player to choose the one they like best :
RebalancedLevelsVanilla : you gain 5 skill points from level 1 to 25, 4 from level 26 to 50, 3 from 51 to 75 and 2 from 76 to 85.
It should give 315 points instead of the original 217 at level 85. You can max about a third of all your skills.
Apart from that, nothing was changed.
UberRebalancedLevelsVanilla : you gain 5 skill points from level 1 to 50 and 4 skill points from level 51 to 85.
It should give 385 points instead of the original 217 at level 85. You can max about half of all your skills.
Apart from that, nothing was changed.
RebalancedLevelsPlus : you gain 5 skill points from level 1 to 25, 4 from level 26 to 50, 3 from 51 to 75 and 2 from 76 to 100.
The total is 345 points at level 100. You can max about a third of all your skills.
I also tinkered with the stat points, you get 2 per level instead of 1 and they increase a stat by 5 instead of 8. So you get a bit more stats overall and a greater control over what you want to increase each level.

To install this mod :
Extract one of the mods in the “mods” folder of the game directory. If you don’t have one, create one.
For steam is should be : \Steam\SteamApps\common\Grim Dawn\mods
You can only use characters from custom games with mods.
They’re kept separate from the ones of the main campaign.
Also note this mod only change the leveling gains.
As such, it won’t award points for levels you already gained with an existing character.
You’ll have to start a new character to take full advantage of it.
Hope people will appreciate it.
