I am thinking to restart A5 (I hate gladwell geas )... So I noticed that with custom type character you get something like 9 skill points less than standard ones... so... I wonder if it worth to use custom made chars, keeping in mind that with minimal effort in the first level, you can correct stats to match the char you like - at least for me, because my custom ones are not so different.
And what about special traits? Are they worth enough to sustain the big exp penalty they give?
Thank you.
PS sorry for my english

For example
Custom Berserker like char with same abilites: only 3 spare points
Berserker: 8 spare points, one point more in missile, one point more in bows.
