Pick up a slashing weapon (broad sword I believe is the first) and use that. Put SP into slashing. Ask Tokath (#global whats after broadsword?) and he'll tell you what weapon is next.
Also use some SP for Endurance (your health). Every now and then put a few into Weight cap until it gets to 5 or 6. Other than Slashing and Endurance, don't worry about other skills until you gain a few remorts. Save SP, it helps for when you remort.
