BASIC members are allowed to "buy back" their skill points, but that is catastrophic in most cases. The skill points bought back cannot be reallocated past rank 2, only on the very few skills that remain unlocked. When I say that my level 40 Edward functions like a level 9 to level 12 unlimited, I mean it. The extra health points allow me to survive on the colossus flag sometimes, but only if I run well enough. (Yup, I went to jail during double gold.)

Just FYI, if anyone asks you, a fully mastered formerly unlimited (now basic) pirate can do these 17 things:

Cannon: Round shot, chain shot, grape shot. (same)
Sailing: Full sail, come about. (Before 12/16/2008: open fire, ramming speed, take cover and leadership via keyboard only.)
Cutlass: Hack, slash, cleave, sweep. (Before 12/16/2008: brawl, taunt and blade storm.)
Pistol: Lead shot, venom shot, bane shot. (Before 12/16/2008: hex eater, silver shot and steel shot.)
Voodoo doll: Poke, swarm, heal. (Before 12/16/2008: curse, scorch, cure, grave shackles and life drain.)
Dagger, grenades and voodoo staff entirely locked. (same)

But lose these 64 abilities:

Cannon: Firebrand, thunderbolt, explosive, fury, barrage and shrapnel.
Sailing: Open fire, ramming speed, take cover, leadership, tacking, treasure sense and taskmaster.
Cutlass: Flourish, thrust, brawl, taunt, blade storm and endurance.
Pistol: Hex eater shot, silver shot, steel shot, dodge and eagle eye.
Voodoo doll: Curse, scorch, cure, grave shackles, life drain, focus and spirit ward.
Dagger: Cut, swipe, gouge, eviscerate, asp, adder, throw dirt, sidewinder, viper's nest, finesse and blade instinct.
Grenades: Throw, long volley, explosive, stink pot, fire bomb, smoke bomb, siege charge, determination, demolitions, toughness and ignore pain.
Voodoo staff: Blast, soul flay, pestilence, wither, flaming skull, banish, desolation, concentration, spirit lore, conservation and spirit mastery.
