There is no use for having more than 10 skill point for an ability

[Cosmos_Shielder]

We tested it at duel serv thanks to skip the fun.
We used a 3 str 39 agi with 10 athle and a 3 str 39 agi with 13 athle.
Both time was naked. We did two time the same race and got significantly the same time . With 13 athle it was 17.86 and with 10 athle it was 17.56 (the little change is due to the little time between i say start and the real begin of the race (something less than half a sec)
chadz said it was hardcodded chadz was true


(Little thanks for geekiller and his skip the fun character )

Well the issue in this case is, that athletic does not have a linear bonus.
As i have rethought my agi build i have made some little tests, as well.
With low athletics every additional skill point gives you a noticeable boost, with high athletics you will still get faster, but the overall effect is quite small.

And maybe the difference is about very small decimals and the floor fonction cut them.
But anyway that means that there is no significant difference between 10 and 13. Increasing more than 10 is pure waste.

Are you sure that Athletics isn't doubled? It's the one skill where one point actually translates into two in real game terms, if I recall. So with a hardcoded cap of 15, 7 or 8 is the most athletics you should ever take, unless they've stopped doubling it now. Does anyone know if this is still the case?

You should try it in full plate! Since you both were unarmored you reached top speed very quickly and so athletics had no effect anymore.
