J.M.

I have a question about one of your statements in your previous
post:

Dumping skill points into it won't make it level faster by
use. 1 skill or
100, the chances of skilling are the same every swing, all
else being equal.

From my experience, I have not found this to be true in the case of
non-combat skills. When I first created my character, I trained one point
in sense-heading. I continually used that skill when moving around.
However, it almost never went up. By the time I was 7th level, my sense
heading was only 5. I got tired of getting lost so I put 5 more points in
it to raise it to 10. Within the next hour or so, my skill in Sense Heading
increased to 20. I'm now 15th level. I can now max out my skill in Sense
Heading every time I level within five minutes. My experience with alcohol
tolerance was very similar.

Could you please clarify your original statement? Were you
referring to combat skills only are were you referring to all skills?

Thanks
