Skill Points

Played Guild Wars a little now... But here is my question...
I know Skill Points are used to help purchase skillz, but does keeping skill points help to make a better char? Like if I built them up, makes my char a better fighter or more resistant to stuff, Or is it just for purchasing skillz only? Don't know if it is in the book, but I can't find mine... think it became dog food lol

Skill Points are used only for buying skills. Your first time through the the game you'll probably end up using all your skill points.

Thanks... I was actually trying to save Skill point at the same time since I thought it would make my char better somehow. Now I know

Well, make sure you don't use up all your skill points purchasing skills, before doing all the quests to GIVE you skills.

Here's a list of those (though it's not going to kill you if you want to buy a skill early, can take awhile to get to some of the quests):
