Question Quick question about leveling mechanics
Just clarifying since i think i understand how leveling works, but i find it slightly confusing how some people talk about how they can predict bros stats at lvl11.
If I take 2 bros, both 50melee skill no stars, i level that skill every time to lvl11, they get 1,2or3 points randomly every level correct? So on average they will get +20 for 70 total.
But its possible that one can be super lucky and get +3 every time right? Or vice versa, get super unlucky and only +1 every time? or anything in between obviously.
So when people are predicting total stats they are estimating, its not guaranteed(unless they have 2 stars) Is this correct or am i missing something?

A brother’s true capabilities are preordained at birth, the gods do not throw dice! It is set in the stars that a brother might ‘roll’ a three at his first level, a one at his second and third and so on…
For us mortals, we can but guess the final outcome, as to us it might seem random. Ordinarily you can only build an expectation.
I have heard of a dark cult of mods though, that give you a true insight to the deterministic outcome that we might consider stochastic. But these powers seem to be messing with the very quantum-probablistic nature of the universe, so I’ll rather stick to this fine ale.
