They increase with level, but can also be increased via training. I house-ruled skills so that they increase over time naturally (when used), and have a system where 'training' in done during actual game play in stead of the "when you level you spend some time learning more".   Magic: Casters get more than normal 1e/2e characters do. You can also specialize in magical types (ala 2e), but you can further "double-specialize" if you really want to. All this extra info and a bajillion other class/sub-class choices are in the Spellslingers and Zealots guides.   Monsters: Oh, the wonderful additional stuff of HM4 monsters! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Each monster has a section called "Yield". In it are the little extras you can expect to be able to salvage/find/extract/etc from that particular monster. The info found in the Yield section is: Medicinal, Spell Components, Hide/Trophy Items, Treasure and Other. Good stuff!   Oh, did I mention the drinking rules? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Each race/class has a base 'intoxication' level. Different types of drinks have different ratings. The more you drink, the harder it is for you to stay sober. Eventually you find yourself intoxicated, with a list of bonuses/penalties associated with your particular level of inoxication. My group has had great fun with this simple system. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   There's all the normal 1e DMG goodness as well; info on economics, NPC hierlings, spell research, governmental types, etc. Awesome stuff, really...and all completely ignorable if you don't care for it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   Enjoy! ^_^ Paul L.
