	Once you join a guild I also think it is a good idea to check my stats against my main skills to make sure I didn't set one stat too low and another too high etc. So “show specialty points” will show your current specialty points, and ‘show specialties' will show you what your specialties are. For the most part these should all be you main guild skills. So comparing what you have available to what your skills are, you can tell if you goofed. 1 spec point = 10 points of the corresponding stat.

So comparing what you have available to what your skills are, you can tell if you goofed. 1 spec point = 10 points of the corresponding stat.

-	Now once I am in a guild and everything, I usually like to place 1 spec point into practice (willpower skill) and 1 into scholarship (intelligence skill). I train these first, once I get each one to about 50 I start training the rest of my skills. The reason for this is that these two skills can heavily impact how fast you learn other skills. Practice helps you get more out of your training in physical skills, and scholarship helps you get more out of sessions in book type skills.	+	Now once I am in a guild and everything, I usually like to place 1 spec point into practice (willpower skill) and 1 into scholarship (intellect skill).

	At this point you are free to do whatever. I typically start by heading to the sewers, which is 3 south, and 1 down from losthaven square. I set my combat mode to defensive and pick a fight with a rat, then I stand there until they run out of endurance, and then I switch to studious and kill them. This keeps my defenses higher than my offenses which I like because it keeps me alive when I pick a fight I cannot win, and I feel that is a good way to start out at the very least.

	A note on starting races, when you are looking at the playable races section letting loose oohs and ahs, there are a few things to take note of. One of them being assimilativity. This controls how fast you learn skills and how much experience you get from your kills. I try to stay as close to 0 as possible. That seems to provide a decent balance of high stats, and you aren't dumb as a brick.

-	My race of choice is sekh, they are a cat people. They have a high starting dexterity and bonus specialty access to killer instinct. This makes them ideal for combat guilds. They also have night vision which makes life easier, though they do not take a sensitivity penalty. They are also ambidextrous, which is great for dual wielding weapons. If you plan to use a big weapon, you might want to try a race that is not ambidextrous as you will not benefit from it anyway, and may be able to pick up another cool ability. The final reason is that sekh have a luck bonus. And everyone can use luck.	+	My race of choice is sekh, they are a cat people.
