[provocating]

I am trying change player startup skills. I am not sure if somehow this is forced from the client or not.

Looking in client.cpp, the SetClassStartingSKills routing is supposed to set them. I changed them to zero, but they are still set to max for the level upon player creation. I also remarked out the call to the routine and it still happens. At this point I can only think that the client overrides what the server tells it.

void Client::SetClassStartingSkills(PlayerProfile_Struct *pp)
{
	for (uint32 i = 0; i <= HIGHEST_SKILL; ++i) {
		if (pp->skills[i] == 0) {
			// Skip specialized, tradeskills (fishing excluded), Alcohol Tolerance, and Bind Wound
			if (EQEmu::IsSpecializedSkill((SkillUseTypes)i) ||
					(EQEmu::IsTradeskill((SkillUseTypes)i) && i != SkillFishing) ||
					i == SkillAlcoholTolerance || i == SkillBindWound)
				continue;

			pp->skills[i] = 0;
		}
	}
}
