However, Angcuru raises an interesting idea in terms of levelling in regards to certain categories: combat, magic and skills. The following example demonstrates the anomalies in the system as it stands:A Metalsmith works his entire life producing works of metal. How does he get better (go up in level)?I suppose you could say that as he produces certain quality items, he gains an XP bonus here and there. However, this would seem a very slow process. He could work for years before hitting 5th level in Expert. Little does he know that he could have short-circuited this regimen of craftwork by purchasing a sword and cutting up infidels. However, if he did do the hard slog of craftwork for numerous years, at the end of that time, he would be quite a bit better at hitting infidels than when he started - almost as good as a warrior of the same level.I suppose what I'm trying to highlight is that the three categories that Angcuru mentioned: combat, magic and skills would be better seperated in some way rather than heaped together when characters go up levels.I would be interested in others peoples views of this apparent anomaly.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
