I realize that this info may be found on a wiki. I did take the time to click back and forth int he character creator and decided to post it up.

One this stands out at a glance from this information. Unless you are going for a caster it is very beneficial to choose a magic type for your secondary. +5 Lore is invaluable. Especially if you are planning a true solo run. i.e. Not accepting companions or getting rid of them at the earliest option in the case of Verse.
