Jay (112 posts) Oct-05-00, 02:37 PM (Pacific) "Skills or not...." I have one more question. In Wiz7, if you have a fighter carrying a sword and an axe, then that character would gain points in both the axe skill and the sword skill as he/she used them in the game. So my question is, has anyone seen thier characters develope thier skills through fighting? Not necessarily at leveling up. I have a warrior with an axe and shield. I have a feeling that I have to at least give one point to my shield skill so my warrior can gain points in it. Am I correct in thinking this? Or can you only gain points at leveling up?

Llevram (5022 posts) Oct-05-00, 03:27 PM (Pacific) 2. "Per the manual" (paraphrased) Many skills improve through use, some only via training in guilds or when levelling up. Tools for your Wizardry(r) toolkit   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Hierocloth (12 posts) Nov-06-00, 10:55 AM (Pacific) 3. "RE: Skills or not...." I have not seen skills increase with use. The only time I've been able to increase them is when leveling, and the amount of increase has varied between 1 and 3. It appears to be somewhat arbitrary on how many skill pts you get as you level.

Garion -ur (28 posts) Apr-09-01, 03:33 PM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Skills or not...." Combat and casting skills, especially sword, axe, dagger 'n' stuff DO increase with use - not noticeably at first maybe, but when you're lvl 10+ you'll notice, 'cause the next level takes a while to achieve. The skill points you receive seem to depend on the class - fighters always getting less than wizards - and the intellect. My fighter gets 2 per lvl, my first wizard 3 and my intelligence 18 wizard 4.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Radek (23 posts) Apr-20-01, 02:35 AM (Pacific) 5. "RE: Skills or not...." Skill points: INT 12 - 3, INT 16 - 4, INT 20 - 5, INT 24 - 6/level Skills: As far as I know, the following skills increase when practicing them: magic schools (vinecraft, etc.), sorcery, weapon skills, and traps and locks. The following skills do not seem to improve by practice: athletics, artifacts. forge, scout, and gallantry. I have no experience with other skills at present.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
