As you progress in levels, every 'new' worded category for your skills
represents the next 10 skill points. Awful = 0-10, Feeble = 11 -20, and so
on. I decided to download a skill table (I think it was from EQ Stratics)
that gave a chart of what all the worded categories mean. Right now most of
my skills that I use say they are 'Very Good', which indicates between 81 to
90. The only one that did not follow the '10 point' standard was good,
which was from 61 to 80.
