Along the same lines of danger, why not simply make a weopon inherently
dangerous to the user who doesn't have the skill to handle it? For example, if
Bubba the newbie tries to get too fancy with a razor-sharp mithril mega-sword,
he may accidently cut his own hand off. Or if Buffy the weakling tries to load
a bolt into her 200 lb. ultra-cool crossbow, she might end up shooting herself
in the foot. If you made this random, then the gamer might have some
interesting choices to make as he gains skill. When he's in a tough spot, does
he gamble with a really cool item hoping he'll have enough skill to do more
damage to his foe than to himself?
