[QUOTE="Yora, post: 9178001, member: 6670763"] This is something I like about percentile skill based systems. (Or d20 systems that work the same in 5% steps like Dragonbane.) The chance to improve a skill is the reverse of the chance to succeed at the skill. In Dragonbane, any time you use any skill, there is a 10% chance to mark the skill for advancement (when you roll a 1 or a 20). At the end of the adventure, you roll all the marked skills, and if you fail the roll the skill rank goes up by one. You also get free marks to assign to any skill that didn't get marked during the adventure as rewards. If you use these marks on skills that are very low, they most likely improve. If you use them on your highest skills, they most likely get wasted. Nice system that incentivizes using skills that are low, and using your advancement marks to improve your weaknesses rather than your strengths. [/QUOTE]
