This gives you the option of maxing out all 8 class powers with 13 points remaining.

Imported ME2 Saves

Depending on Shepard's level in a completed save you can have up to 51 points to carry over to ME3. However, imported saves of levels 26 - 30 will give two additional points per level totaling up to 61 points.

With one exception you can decide how your points are allocated before importing ME2 saves. For an easier explanation, let's assume you have a level 30 Shepard.

• Any class ranks you had in ME2 will be given in ME3 (e.g. Rank 3 Warp).
• You will start with 61 points between spent and unspent points (55 unspent + 6 spent in Rank 3 Warp).
• Any points in a Loyal Power (e.g. Miranda's Slam) will be given back as unspent points.
• If you wish to start ME3 with all 61 points unspent, import a save that has 51 unspent points or choose a different class than your ME2 import during character customization.
