Introduction
I mostly made this as a quick reference because I wanted to maximize my game experience and having this all written down helped me to pre-allocate my points and money.

As stated in the summary, I only just got this game but if there is anything you want to add, anything I got wrong, or something you would like to see in this guide let me know.

I will do my best to accommodate you but I make no promises.

So far, I do not believe Attributes affect careers, only the associated Ability affects careers. That said Attributes do contribute dialogue.

**Choosing a career auto gives you +30% in the associated Ability - Base wages is shown with the careers associated ability at 31%**

Many of the skills have tiers. In a tier you can only choose one. I have separated each skill into groups and individuals, with spaces in between so you'll know which are together and which are not.

Exception 1 is pyrokinesis which is grouped with telekinetic powers. The reason for this is because when I chose one of the other telekinetic tiers first, pyrokinesis went away but when I chose pyrokenisis first I was still able to choose one of the other telekinetic powers.

Exception 2 all Miscellaneous skills can be taken individually but I wanted to save room so they're all grouped together.

Other also has a money option, there are 10 tiers but as with the other skills you can only choose one...as long as you have the points to spare.

A lot of the Inventor skills are only unlocked after you get to a certain Intelligence Tier - like the force fields and the plasma rifles.

nice list, though both shadow offensive attacks that deal 50 damage cost 75, and there is also a shadow stun
