There's going to be different skills with different effects for first and
third person
Also when you level up you get points to spend on first person trees and
points to spend on third person trees. They are separate so you don't have
to choose to be good at one game mode vs the other.
Also, at the beginning of each level (whether its first person or third
person) you'll be able to re-distribute your skill points. ONLY at the
beginning of the level though, not during.
That's the plan anyhow, if anyone brings up any good reasons why thats not a
good idea we can of course change it
