I am thinking of choosing Hedwirg as my main character and respec him after reaching Oleg's.

I have no time to try it out right now, but I have found some very contradictory reports about this on the net.

Some people claim you get even more points on top of his 32-point buy, others say you get only 25 points like when you start a normal build at the beginning.

I wonder if anyone has tried this and could report how it works out....

I'd also be interested if there are any mods that influence this.

Thank you for any comments!

Yes there are mods that can influence this.
