No, basically, it works like this, I think.At lvl 1, you have nothing.At lvl 3, you get three unique skills, your subset, and every level after that, you get one unique skill and perk.At level nine, you should have nine unique skills, a bunch of class skills, and six perks.

That... Still confuses me. So if we're level one, does that mean Arms Slave [i]doesn't[/i] actually have any of his skills, like Multi Melee, Chain Catch, and Surviving Suffering? I can understand getting Class-Specific skills at level three like Necromancer abilities for Mages who take that class, but what about before it? Do players just survive off basic attacks and item usage?
