how do i increase how much i can increase a skill by when i gain a level? eg: (i'm typing this off my head, so the format may not be exactly right) Healing 58 (98) (+2d4) where 58 is my current, 98 is my max, and +2d4 is how much i can increase it by in one go. how do i increase +2d4 and 98? i THINK that training a skill first raises the maximum limit to 100, and then increases your current skill level by +2d4. is this correct?

Yea it's right but sometimes that happens to me like I'll try to increase something(whichever skill that might be) and it'll stop at 99 ah well that's ADOM for ya anyway you can increase your leveling up ability when you increase your learning like usually when you go up a level you can increase 3-5 skills but with a Le lv of 99 you increse 20 skills.

yep, that's in the GB too, i think. or maybe somewhere else, don't know where i read it. that's a good use for potions of boost learning if you keep close track of your xp.

Training skills and potential increases is just like training stats - use the skill as often as possible, and it will increase, and the increasing dice will increase. The max increase depends on learining, the skill value and the dice, so train, to increase it. To increase healing, get wounded, and wait until healed. My barbarians don't train in healing at all (no increase), but healing a couple hundred hps in a few days trains "Healing" by large amounts (the increases are often +22). If a skill is passive (it "uses" itself automaticly, like healing), then just do what triggest the skill. Here's how I train the most usefull skills: Literacy - read a lot of scrolls, the "wierd message", ratling phamphets (the rebel near the arena gives them if you haven't fought in the arena yet) and the 2 scrolls in the SMC are great for this, read them a lot of times, to train your literacy Healing - described above, just get injured Listening - spiders and their webs are great for this, lots of noises to hear, when monsters rip though the webs, and spiders make them. Just wait, and listen. Herbalism - pick herbs. It trains the skill really nice. Pick pockets, disarm traps, detect traps - use them everywhere you can, on every target. Every trap you find and disarm trains 2 skills, every humanoid monster is a target for training your skills as a thief. Find Weakness - it trains itself just nice after 50, so increase it a couple of times, and leave it. The same with Stealth, Two Weapon Combat and Backstabbing (only backstabbing trains itself even from very low levels, just get stealth over 70 or invisibility, and your backstabbing will go up to 100 so fast, you won't even notice) Tactics - just use tactic settings. Fighting as a berserker trains it just fine. A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

What are potion of potential ...? Does that mean that your ... is increased by one for a short time or it means that there is a chance for it to be permanently increased? For the Horde! |

Potion of potential <stat> increases the stat potential. If you use the 'B' command, you'll see how are your stats, and how high is the potential. Statistics that reached their potentials will not increase naturally any longer, and you will need 3 times the herbs and twice the time to increase them (2xthe herbs to train the potential, wait until it increases, and then train the stat). Sam goes for training with the dwarven trainer. Not much use for those potions, it's not that important, but potions of potential mana can recharge wands if they are dipped into them, and potions of potential toughness usually bloat (important if you want to learn the Wish spell, you can drink those when bloated, and increase your satation level, so you won't starve while reading the book). A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

Actually you only need 2 times the herbs for the stat to grow 1 point, 1*dosage for the potential to increase, then 1*doseage for the stat to increase. Dexterity as an example: 2 moss for the stat potential to grow, after that use 2 moss for the stat to grow. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

do we have to keep changing tactics for it to increase? Taz: A potion of gain attributes (4s) is lying here. Suddenly a stone block hits your head! Something on the ground is smashed to pieces! PeanutGod: Awwww no! How harsh is that! This is where you need the artefact 'mop and bucket'. |

AFAIK tactics doesn't affect any skills (well, maybe tactics). You wish to kill me? Good thing I brought my psychic hamster named Hamster with me... |

That's what he's talking about... No Taz. The more extreme tactic you use, the more you train (coward and Berzerker train the most, normal doesn't train at all). A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

Why 'very aggressive'? You don't gain shield marks on very aggressive and berserker, only on aggresive, normal and the defensive tactics (that's why I don't use 'very aggressive' and 'very defensive'). A pessimist sees a dark tunnel. An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel. A realist sees a train. And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks. |

No, you get shield marks on very aggressive, but not berserk. You don't gain melee weapon marks on very defensive or coward, but you DO earn missile weapon marks, so you can use very defensive and coward more with archers and the like. If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.
