    1. Title: unbalanced Abilities and items for NEW Players starting main path
    2. Reproduction Rate:100%
    3. Blocker?--
    4. Details/Steps to Reproduce:
    By choosing the Main Path our Avatar receives a few Skill points connected to this path.

    Str +2 - Path of Courage - all Char.stats per sum: 268 - Sum of Skill points: 192 (48 less points than choosing Path of Love!)

    Dex +2 - Path of Love - all Char.stats per sum: 262 - Sum of Skill points: 240 (!)

    But you forgot to raise
    Int +2 - Path of Truth - all Char.stats per sum: 256,4 - Sum of Skill points: 177 (63 less points than choosing Path of Love!)

    And also missing Skill: SUN Enlightenment
    --> So starting as "mage" is the weakest Character at the moment :(

    The starting skills and abilities should be equal - I think the Oracle is fair to every Avatar on every path :)

    Also Missing for ALL new Avatars:
    - Shield Skill (0 Points)
    - Fishing and Agriculture (0 Point, the other crafting skills are at 10P)

    Please also check the tools in Backpack ;)
    Potions are same, but by choosing Courage I get one more scroll.

    Moving to feedback, this isn't a bug.

    Thank you, Lum the Mad :)

    If not raise
    Int +2 for choosing the Path of Truth
    and giving just Skill points of 177 (63 less points than choosing Path of Love!)
    would mean that it is not equal and has consequences what path you are choosing ...
    What is the meaning of this? One path is better as another?
    If it is not a bug, the information given from the oracle isn't true:
    there IS one more consequence by choosing the path, because of receiving more or less skills.
    Shouldn't the Oracle telling us the truth? ;)

    May be I searched for a kind of logic, that every path gives the same conditions to a new player.
    So at last it is an advantage to start with the path of love ... accepted.
    I explain it in this way, that the Oracle was made of the Titans - and they also made mistakes ;)
    I just think it would be fair that there are no differences made by starting one of the paths.

    This is related I think, please let me know if you wish me to ask elsewhere.

    Without the new outskirts in yet, where can we learn to open up free attack and deck building in the new NUE? I never found it on QA when I started a new character. Not going to delete main character to check again on Prod.
    Thanks... @Lum the Mad

    What about resolute? Not in yet? I went to trainer in building on left (forgot her name) but did not get any dialogue or whatever it is. Same for Aerie?

    Just Soltown for now. The other two paths are specifically not recommended for new players. Eventually these trainer quests will be in the new Outskirts zones.
