Dragon Age: Origins — Awakening Guide Essentials The Classes
Leveling
Each level you gain three attribute points and one talent point. Attribute points can be spent on raising your core stats, while talent points can purchase new talents (for warriors and rogues) or new spells (for mages). Mages and warriors get one skill point every three levels, while rogues get a skill point every two levels. You gain specialization points at levels 7, 14, and 22.
Using this information, spend your points wisely. Don’t be caught with a level 18 warrior who has only the first couple of abilities in many chains. His contribution to the party will be limited, and you don’t get a second chance at spending these points unless you
purchase a special Manual of Focus, which allows you to re-spec your character.
