thanx for the great info. i realized most of it. but because i cannot see immediately the changes i made, that's why i asked.

to quote an example: if i put attributes into Swordmanship, i can immediately see the dmg raises up. But when i put into Strength, i see no changes. When i venture out and hit enemies, i see no drastic effect. Which is why im wondering what is the usage of Str.

May I have an example at what situation/scenario i should invest heavilty on Swordmanship and what scenario i should invest more in Str.

Base on your explanation, i can only say if the foe is heavily armor. Invest Str.
If the foe has no armor, invest Swordmanship.
Especially if the foe is undead, dun ever invest in Swordmanship skills since they can't bleed. (base on the current skill that i have - Gash & Sever Artery)

Anymore tips?
