alright, ignoring most of this thread's subject, ... I can understand, if the cost is high, why normal people (given 5 points per level) of this world don't buy the two double skill point/growth skills, but why THE F**K would the 'heroes' not have bought them? That's just stupid. At least, the MC had Efil do it. She could afford it right away cause reasons, but even if she couldn't day one, he probably would have had her save up for it, cause he doesn't seem to be an idiot.
