There's a skill book partway through the game that gives +2 Spellcraft and +3 Fire.

That's the Tome of Fire. It gives +3 Fire magic and +10 Fire Resist. It does not boost Spellcraft.

@Bob: You gain 10 attribute points and 2 traits at startup. That's it. You won't get any as you level up (though skills/items will boost your attribute scores).

You gain 1-7 skillpoints at level 1, depending on race and the skilled trait. After that, you get 4 skillpoints per level. Imagine reaching around level 13, so that's a total of 53-59 skillpoints per character. If you want to get the 50 pointer, notice that you only have 3-9 skill points remaining to dabble into other skills, except...

There are three tomes that each give one of your characters 5 additional skillpoints to spend.
There is one tome that raises the fire magic skill of one of your character by 3 skillpoints.

I just noticed I miscalculated there. You start with 1-7 skill points and at level 13 get 12x 4 additional skillpoints, so +48, ending you up with 49-55 skillpoints.

Thanks, knowing about that item certainly helps my forward planning.
