Hmm. Did you get more stat points per level than 5 or did they change somehow?

I had this problem too I think, at level 10 i think I had something about ~100 (don't recall an exact number) and I just mowed downed people in the capital. It sure made me feel powerful but it was also a bit boring, even if my weapon broke I could punch them to death. In the end some pwoerful enemy killed me because I got reckless.
