That is very strange. Do you have any scripts that modify Game_Actor?
By default, the setup for actors:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Setup
# actor_id : actor ID
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def setup(actor_id)
actor = $data_actors[actor_id]
@actor_id = actor_id
@name = actor.name
@character_name = actor.character_name
@character_index = actor.character_index
@face_name = actor.face_name
@face_index = actor.face_index
@class_id = actor.class_id
@weapon_id = actor.weapon_id
@armor1_id = actor.armor1_id
@armor2_id = actor.armor2_id
@armor3_id = actor.armor3_id
@armor4_id = actor.armor4_id
@level = actor.initial_level
@exp_list = Array.new(101)
make_exp_list
@exp = @exp_list[@level]
@skills = []
for i in self.class.learnings
learn_skill(i.skill_id) if i.level <= @level
end
clear_extra_values
recover_all
end
As you can see, those skills should be learned. The only thing I can think of that would be fixable is if you are using any custom scripts that might mess with that.
Anyway, since they are startup skills, there is no reason why you can't just add them by a parallel process event when you start the game. So you don't need to sacrifice beginning skills.
