There is no confirmation screen when you choose a perk. Like "Are you sure you want the XXXXX Perk? If you choose yes, it will be both immediately active and permanently applied to your character".

I mention this because right now, while I choose the correct perk I wanted, I can see someone accidentally misclicking when trying to use the 'next' or 'previous' list items and taking a perk they didnt want and then having to talk to the DM's to correct it.

Small, but perhaps helpful.

Bump, I saw that this issue caused a problem to two people in the DM Q&A area.

Any resolution to this? Or the issue that a perk does not allow to be undone by a DM? (I understand why not having a Player be able to undo it)

The system does not support it. It was supposed to ask for confirmation since recently, however.

There was no confirmation on my own selection. I don't remember exactly how it worked but there was a fairly obvious sound effect and a new journal entry when selecting 'perks' from the crafting menu. In that area they are described (although I couldn't see more than the first few and had to come to the website)

Adding a confirmation or some method to have them reset would be wonderful whenever it's possible ;)

Yeah... a reset and confirmation would be great.
 
While an unexpected boon to PCs, you're not "out" anything if you screw it up, but it sucks a bit.

Please keep in mind that a willy-nilly reset will never be allowed.  It would let people shuffle their perks around which would be too ridiculously good.

When you select a perk, would it be possible to get a short description of the perk and it's effects before confirming you want it?

Paha

Yes. Like:

click perk

it moves to new convo with description and something like: 'Are you sure you want this perk?" "Yes" "no"

or something of that style.

Twelve

please?
 
And maybe a just this once reset across the board, if a way to do so is figured out.
 
perty please?

Yeah, the journal entry only shows a couple of the perks, and every day I see new people who never even knew about perks in the first place... A few suggestions on perks:

-If it is figured out how to do this, reset everyone's perks just once.
-When selecting perks, you are asked to confirm, while being asked to confirm it tells you what the perk does
-Multiple journal entries so that you can open up read up on perks from your journal

Relinquish

Journal entry gets updated when you hit the next option in dialogue.

Nightshadow

Oh, I didn't know that. Nevermind about that part, then.
