Skill point

Skill points are points awarded to the player character when reaching a new level of experience. The player is then free to allocate the points to whatever skills he feels are in need of improvement.

The amount of skills points received on each level up is primarily dependant on the intelligence of the player. It might also be furthermore modified by certain traits or perks, notably, the Skilled and Gifted traits, and the Educated perk.

Certain books, traits and perks give the player a skill point bonus for a specific skill as well.
