Skill related
I have one idea how to check a weapon skill, if you look at your attack
value it changes as you change weapon it is proportional to your skill in
this weapon !. So if you gain a skill your attack value will go up (maybe
only after you zone or disconect as if it is case with languages)
I think that formula is something like
(Strenght bonus * (level factor)) + (weapon skill * (dexterity factor)=
attack value
im not sure where dexterity enters in game. But when control this you must
be careful becouse when you dont have a weapon in hand it count your Hand
to hand skill !!
If anyone wish to try this you must cast strenght spell on you and see
change of Attack then put and remove a pair od derwish rings wich give you
more dexterity and see attack and i think that you will have enough data
for a little matematic game :)
